Luke 12: 22 - 31
|
| 22 | And he said to his disciples, "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you shall eat, nor about your body, what you shall put on. |
| 23 | For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. |
| 24 | Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds! |
| 25 | And which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his span of life? |
| 26 | If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest? |
| 27 | Consider the lilies, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. |
| 28 | But if God so clothes the grass which is alive in the field today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O men of little faith! |
| 29 | And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor be of anxious mind. |
| 30 | For all the nations of the world seek these things; and your Father knows that you need them. |
| 31 | Instead, seek his kingdom, and these things shall be yours as well. |
