Luke 12:22-40

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.

35“2021Be dressedG4024 in 22readinessG4024, and keep your lampsG3088 litG2545. 36Be likeG3664 menG444 who are waitingG4327 for their masterG2962 whenG4219 he returnsG360 from the weddingG1062 feastG1062, soG2443 that they may immediatelyG2112 openG455 the door to him when he comesG2064 and knocksG2925. 37BlessedG3107 are thoseG1565 slavesG1401 whomG3739 the masterG2962 will findG2147 23on the alertG1127 when he comesG2064; trulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, that 24he will girdG4024 himself to serve, and have them reclineG347 at the table, and will comeG3928 up and waitG1247 on them. 3825WhetherG2579 he comesG2064 in the 26secondG1208 watchG5438, orG2579 evenG2579 in the 27thirdG5154, and findsG2147 them soG3779, blessedG3107 are thoseG1565 slaves.

39“28But 29be sureG1097 of thisG3778, that ifG1487 the headG3617 of the houseG3617 had knownG3609 at whatG4169 hourG5610 the thiefG2812 was comingG2064, he would not have allowedG863 his houseG3624 to be 3031brokenG1358 into. 4032You tooG2532, be readyG2092; for the SonG5207 of ManG444 is comingG2064 at an hourG5610 that you do not 33expectG1380.”
