Luke 12:22-40
22And he saidG3004 to his disciplesG3101, For this cause I sayG3004 unto you, Be not careful for lifeG5590, what ye shall eatG2068, nor for the bodyG4983, what ye shall putG1746 on.
23The lifeG5590 isG1510 moreG4183 than foodG5160, and the bodyG4983 than raiment.
24ConsiderG2657 the ravens, that they sowG4687 not nor reapG2325; which have neither storehouse nor granary; and 1GodG2316 feedsG5142 them. HowG4214 muchG4214 better areG1510 ye than the birdsG4071?
25But which of you by being careful can addG4369 to his statureG2244 oneG3588 cubit?
26If thereforeG3767 ye cannot [do] evenG3761 what is leastG1646, whyG5101 are ye careful about the restG3062?
27ConsiderG2657 the liliesG2918 howG4459 they growG837: they neither toilG2872 nor spinG3514; but I sayG3004 unto you, Not evenG3761 SolomonG4672 in all his gloryG1391 was clothed as oneG1520 of these.
28But if 2GodG2316 thusG3779 clothe the grassG5528, which to-day isG1510 in the fieldG68 and to-morrow isG1510 castG906 into [the] oven, howG4214 muchG4214 ratherG3123 you, O ye of little faith?
29And ye, seekG2212 not what ye shall eatG2068 or what ye shall drinkG4095, and be not in anxiety;
30for all these thingsG3778 do the nationsG1484 of the worldG2889 seekG1934 after, and your FatherG3962 knows that ye have needG5535 of these thingsG3778;
31but seekG2212 his kingdomG932, and [all] these thingsG3778 shall be addedG4369 to you.
32FearG5399 not, littleG3398 flockG4168, for it has been the good pleasureG2106 of your FatherG3962 to giveG1325 you the kingdomG932.
33SellG4453 what ye possess and giveG1325 almsG1654; makeG4160 to yourselves purses which do not grow oldG3822, a treasureG2344 which does not fail in the heavensG3772, whereG3699 thiefG2812 does not drawG1448 near nor mothG4597 destroyG1311.
34For whereG3699 your treasureG2344 isG1510, there alsoG2532 will your heartG2588 beG1510.
35Let your loinsG3751 beG1510 girdedG4024 about, and lampsG3088 burningG2545;
36and ye like menG444 who wait their ownG1438 lordG2962 whenever he may leave the weddingG1062, that when he comesG2064 and knocksG2925, they may openG455 to him immediatelyG2112.
37Blessed are those bondmen whom the lordG2962 [on] comingG2064 shall findG2147 watchingG1127; verily I sayG3004 unto you, that he will girdG4024 himself and make them reclineG347 at table, and comingG2064 up will serveG1247 them.
38And if he comeG2064 in the secondG1208 watchG5438, and comeG2064 in the thirdG5154 watchG5438, and findG2147 [them] thusG3779, blessed areG1510 those [bondmen].
39But this knowG1097, that if the master of the houseG3624 had knownG1097 in what hourG5610 the thiefG2812 was comingG2064, he would have watched, and not have suffered his houseG3624 to be dug through.
40And ye therefore, be ye readyG2092, for in the hourG5610 in which ye do not thinkG1380 [it], the SonG5207 of manG444 comesG2064.
