Therefore I say unto you, be not careful for your life what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, nor yet for your body, what raiment ye shall put on. Is not the life more worth than meat? and the body more of value than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither reap, nor yet carry into the barns, and yet your heavenly father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you, though he took thought therefore, could put one cubit unto his stature? read more.
And why care ye then for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They labor not, neither spin: And yet for all that, I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his royalty, was not arrayed like unto one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass, which is today in the field, and tomorrow shall be cast into the furnace, shall he not much more do the same unto you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, 'What shall we eat?' Or. 'What shall we drink?' Or, 'Wherewith shall we be clothed?' After all these things seek the gentiles: For your heavenly father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But rather, seek ye first the kingdom of heaven, and the righteousness thereof; and all these things shall be ministered unto you. Care not then for the morrow: but let the morrow care for itself. For the day present hath ever enough of his own trouble.
