Matthew 6:25-33

25“1For this reason I say to you, 2do not be 3worried about your 4life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 265Look at the birds of the 6air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they? 27And who of you by being 7worried can 8add a single 9hour to his 10life? 28And why are you 11worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, 29yet I say to you that not even 12Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. 30But if God so clothes the 13grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? 14You of little faith! 31Do not 15worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’ 32For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for 16your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33But 17seek first 18His kingdom and His righteousness, and 19all these things will be 20added to you.
