If God then so clothe a vegetable of the field, which to-day is, [in beauty], and tomorrow is cast into the furnace, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Wherefore be under no anxiety, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, With what shall we be clothed? (for after all these things the heathen seek:) and your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of them all. But seek ye, in the first place, the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be given you over. Be not therefore anxious about to-morrow: for tomorrow will provide for its own wants. Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof.

If God then so clothe the grass in the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is thrown into the furnace; how much more you, O ye of little faith? So then be not ye inquisitive what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, nor be agitated with restless anxiety. For after all these things are the nations of the world seeking; and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. But seek ye the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be given you over. Fear not, little flock! for your Father takes delight in giving you the kingdom. Sell all your possessions, and give in charity; make yourselves purses that wax not old, a treasure never failing in the heavens, where no thief approaches, nor doth the moth destroy. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
