Matthew 6:25-34 - The Sermon On The Mount: Anxiety
25 For this reason I say to you, Be not anxious for your life, what you shall eat, and what you shall drink; nor for your body, what you shall put on. Is not your life a greater gift than food, and your body than clothing? 26 Observe the birds of the air, that they neither sow, nor reap, nor gather into granaries. Yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much better than they? 27 Which of you, by his anxiety, can add one span to his life? 28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field how they grow: they toil not, nor do they spin. 29 But I say to you, That Solomon, in all his glory, was not clothed like one of these. 30 If then, God so clothes the herb of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, you of little faith? 31 Therefore, be not anxious, saying: What shall we eat? or, what shall we drink? or, with what shall we be clothed? 32 For after all these things do the Gentiles seek: for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be given to you in addition. 34 Therefore, be not anxious about the morrow, for the morrow will have anxieties of its own. Sufficient for the day is its own evil.
