Luke 12:22-34
22And He saidG3004 to His disciplesG3101, “1For thisG3778 reasonG1223 I sayG3004 to you, 2do not worryG3309 aboutG3588 your 3lifeG5590, as to whatG5101 you will eatG2068; norG3366 for your bodyG4983, as to whatG5101 you will putG1746 on. 23For lifeG5590 is moreG4183 than foodG5160, and the bodyG4983 moreG4183 than clothingG1742. 24ConsiderG2657 the 4ravensG2876, for they neitherG3777 sowG4687 norG3777 reapG2325; they have noG3756 storeroomG5009 norG3761 5barnG596, and yet GodG2316 feedsG5142 them; howG4214 muchG4214 moreG3123 valuableG1308 you are than the birdsG4071! 25And whichG5101 of you by worryingG3309 canG1410 addG4369 a single 67hourG4083 to his 8life’sG2244 spanG2244? 26IfG1487 thenG3767 you cannotG1410G3761 do evenG3761 a veryG1646 littleG1646 thingG1646, whyG5101 do you worryG3309 aboutG4012 otherG3062 mattersG3062? 27ConsiderG2657 the liliesG2918, howG4459 they growG837: they neitherG3777 toilG2872 norG3777 spinG3514; but I tellG3004 you, not evenG3761 9SolomonG4672 in allG3956 his gloryG1391 clothedG4016 himself likeG5613 oneG1520 of theseG3778. 28But ifG1487 GodG2316 soG3779 clothesG292 the grassG5528 in the fieldG68, which is alive todayG4594 and tomorrowG839 is thrownG906 into the furnaceG2823, howG4214 muchG4214 moreG3123 will He clothe you? 10You menG3640 of littleG3640 faithG3640! 29And do not seekG2212 whatG5101 you will eatG2068 and whatG5101 you will drinkG4095, and do not 11keep worryingG3349. 30For 12allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778 the nationsG1484 of the worldG2889 eagerlyG1934 seekG1934; but your FatherG3962 knowsG3609 that you needG5535 theseG3778 thingsG3778. 31But seekG2212 His kingdomG932, and 13theseG3778 thingsG3778 will be addedG4369 to you. 3214Do not be afraidG5399, 15littleG3398 flockG4168, for 16your FatherG3962 has chosenG2106 gladlyG2106 to giveG1325 you the kingdomG932.
33“17SellG4453 your possessionsG5225 and giveG1325 to charityG1654; makeG4160 yourselvesG1438 moneyG905 beltsG905 which do not wearG3822 out, 18an unfailingG413 treasureG2344 in heavenG3772, whereG3699 noG3756 thiefG2812 comesG1448 nearG1448 norG3761 mothG4597 destroysG1311. 34For 19whereG3699 your treasureG2344 is, thereG1563 your heartG2588 will be alsoG2532.
