But who of you by anxious thought can add to his life one cubit? And why are ye anxious about raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They toil not, neither do they spin; and yet I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed like one of these. And if God so clothes the herbage of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into an oven, will he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore be not anxious, saying, What shall we eat, or what shall we drink, or wherewith shall we he clothed? For after all these things do the gentiles seek; for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will also be given you. Be not then anxious about the morrow; for the morrow will be anxious about itself. Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof.

Of how much greater value are ye than the birds!read more.
And who of you can by anxious thought add a cubit to his life? If then ye cannot do even that which is least, why are ye anxious about the rest? Consider the lilies, that they neither spin nor weave; and yet I say to you, Not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the herbage in the field, which is today, and tomorrow is cast into an oven, how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith! And seek not ye what ye shall eat, and what ye shall drink; and be not of a doubtful mind. For all these things do the nations of the world seek after; and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. But rather seek his kingdom, and these things will also be given you.

Hypocrite! first cast the beam out of thine own eye, and then thou wilt see clearly to take out the mote that is in thy brothers eye.

Or what man is there of you, who, if his son ask for bread, will give him a stone? or, if he ask for a fish, will give him a serpent?

All things, then, whatever ye would that men should do to you, do ye also so to them; for this is the Law and the Prophets.

And what father is there, among you, who, if his son ask for bread, will give him a stone? or if he ask for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent? or, if he ask for an egg, will give him a scorpion?

A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor call a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that beareth not good fruit is cut down, and cast into the fire. So then ye may know them by their fruits.

Every one that cometh to me and heareth my sayings and doeth them, I will show you whom he is like. He is like a man building a house, who dug deep, and laid its foundation on a rock; and when a flood arose, the stream dashed against that house, and could not shake it; because it was well built. But he that heareth and doeth not, is like a man that built a house upon the earth without a foundation; against which the stream dashed, and it fell at once, and the ruin of that house was great.

And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, that the multitudes were astonished at his teaching. For he taught them as having authority, and not as their scribes.
