Luke 12:23 Themes and Topics

For this cause I tell you, Be not anxious about your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life of more value than meat, and the body than raiment? Look on the birds of the air: for they neither sow, nor reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are you not of more value than they? But which of you, by his cares, can add one cubit to his stature? read more.
And why are ye anxious about clothing? Contemplate the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, nor spin: yet I tell you, Not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these. 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.

Then said he to his disciples, For this reason I tell you, Be under no anxiety about your life, what ye shall eat, nor for your body, how ye shall be clothed. The life is more than food, and the body than raiment. Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap; they have neither storehouse nor barn; yet God feedeth them: how much are ye more excellent than the birds? read more.
Which of you, with all his anxiety, can add one moment to his life? If therefore ye are unable to do the least thing, why are ye anxious about the others? Observe the lillies how they grow up, they toil not, nor spin; but I tell you, that Solomon in all his glory, was not arrayed like one of these. 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.
