Luke 12:22-34 - Anxiety

22 And he said unto his disciples - For this cause, I say unto you, - Be not anxious for the life, what ye shall eat, nor yet for yourbody, what ye shall put on; 23 For, the life, is more, than the food, and, the body, than, the clothing. 24 Consider well the ravens - That they sow nor, neither do they reap, which have neither chamber nor barn, - and, God, feedeth, them! By how much do, ye, excel, the birds? 25 And, who from among you, though anxious, can, unto his stature, add a cubit? 26 If then, not even the least thing, ye can do, why, concerning the rest, are ye anxious?

27 Consider well the lilies, how they grow: they toil not, neither do they spin, and yet I say unto you - Not even Solomon, in all his glory, was arrayed like one of these. 28 But, if God thus adorneth, the grass, which is, in a field, to-day, and, to-morrow, into an oven, is cast, how much rather you, O little-of-faith? 29 Ye, therefore, be not seeking what ye shall eat and what ye shall drink, and be not held in suspense; 30 For, after all these things, do, the nations of the world, seek, - but, your Father, knoweth that ye need these things.

31 Notwithstanding, be seeking his kingdom, - and, these things, shall be added unto you. 32 Be not afraid, the dear little flock! for your Father delighteth to give you, the kingdom. 33 Sell your possessions, and give alms, make for yourselves purses that wax not old, - treasure unfailing, in the heavens, where, thief, doth not draw near, and, moth, doth not spoil. 34 For, where your treasure is, there, will your heart he also.
