Anxiety » Why you should not be anxious
For this cause, I say unto you: Be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat or what ye shall drink, - or for your body, what ye shall put on: Is not, the life, more than, the food? And, the body, than, the raiment? Observe intently, the birds of the heaven, - that they neither sow, nor reap, nor gather into barns, and yet, your heavenly Father, feedeth, them: Are no, ye, much better than, they? But who from among you, being anxious, can add to his stature one cubit? read more.
And, about clothing, why are ye anxious? Consider well the lilies of the field, 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! Now, if the grass of the field - which to-day, is, and, to-morrow, into an oven, is cast - God thus adorneth, not much rather, you, little of faith? Do not then be anxious saying, What shall we eat? or What shall we drink? or Wherewithal shall we be arrayed? For, all these things, the nations, seek after, - for your heavenly Father, knoweth, that ye are needing, all these things. But be seeking first, the kingdom and its righteousness, - and, all these things, shall be added unto you. Do not, then, be anxious for the morrow; for the morrow, will be anxious, for itself: Sufficient for the day, is the evil thereof.

Burn not with vexation because of evil-doers, Be not envious of the workers of perversity; For, like grass, soon shall they wither, and, like green herbage, shall they fade.
Burn not with vexation against evil doers, be not envious of lawless men; For there shall be no future for the wicked, The lamp of the lawless, shall go out.
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; For, the life, is more, than the food, and, the body, than, the clothing. 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? read more.
And, who from among you, though anxious, can, unto his stature, add a cubit? If then, not even the least thing, ye can do, why, concerning the rest, are ye anxious? 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. 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? Ye, therefore, be not seeking what ye shall eat and what ye shall drink, and be not held in suspense; For, after all these things, do, the nations of the world, seek, - but, your Father, knoweth that ye need these things. Notwithstanding, be seeking his kingdom, - and, these things, shall be added unto you. Be not afraid, the dear little flock! for your Father delighteth to give you, the kingdom. 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. For, where your treasure is, there, will your heart he also.

Roll on Yahweh thy way, Trust also in him, and, he, will effectually work: So will he bring forth, as the light, thy righteousness, and thy vindication as the noonday. Be resigned to Yahweh, yea wait with longing for him; Burn not with vexation at him who prospereth in his way, - at the man who doeth wickedness. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath, Burn not with vexation - it would be only to do evil; For, evil doers, shall be cut off, but, as for them who wait for Yahweh, they, shall inherit the earth.
