Matthew 6:24-34

24“1NoG3762 oneG3762 canG1410 serveG1398 twoG1417 mastersG2962; for eitherG2228 he will hateG3404 the oneG1520 and loveG25 the otherG2087, orG2228 he will be devotedG472 to oneG1520 and despiseG2706 the otherG2087. You cannotG1410G3756 serveG1398 GodG2316 and 23wealthG3126.

25“4For thisG3778 reasonG1223 I sayG3004 to you, 5do not be 6worriedG3309 aboutG3588 your 7lifeG5590, as to whatG5101 you will eatG2068 orG2228 whatG5101 you will drinkG4095; norG3366 for your bodyG4983, as to whatG5101 you will putG1746 on. Is not lifeG5590 moreG4183 than foodG5160, and the bodyG4983 moreG4183 than clothingG1742? 268LookG1689 at the birdsG4071 of the 9airG3772, that they do not sowG4687, norG3761 reapG2325 norG3761 gatherG4863 into barnsG596, and yet your heavenlyG3770 FatherG3962 feedsG5142 them. Are you not worthG1308 muchG3123 moreG1308 than they? 27And whoG5101 of you by being 10worriedG3309 canG1410 11addG4369 a single 12hourG4083 to his 13lifeG2244? 28And whyG5101 are you 14worriedG3309 aboutG4012 clothingG1742? ObserveG2648 howG4459 the liliesG2918 of the fieldG68 growG837; they do not toilG2872 norG3761 do they spinG3514, 29yetG1161 I sayG3004 to you that not evenG3761 15SolomonG4672 in allG3956 his gloryG1391 clothedG4016 himself likeG5613 oneG1520 of theseG3778. 30But ifG1487 GodG2316 soG3779 clothesG294 the 16grassG5528 of the fieldG68, which is alive todayG4594 and tomorrowG839 is thrownG906 into the furnaceG2823, will He not muchG4183 moreG3123 clothe you? 17You of littleG3640 faithG3640! 31Do not 18worryG3309 thenG3767, sayingG3004, ‘WhatG5101 will we eatG2068?’ orG2228 ‘WhatG5101 will we drinkG4095?’ orG2228 ‘WhatG5101 will we wearG4016 for clothingG4016?’ 32For the GentilesG1484 eagerlyG1934 seekG1934 allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778; for 19your heavenlyG3770 FatherG3962 knowsG3609 that you needG5535 allG537 theseG3778 thingsG3778. 33But 20seekG2212 firstG4413 21His kingdomG932 and His righteousnessG1343, and 22allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778 will be 23addedG4369 to you.

34“SoG3767 do not 24worryG3309 aboutG1519 tomorrowG839; for tomorrowG839 will 25careG3309 for itselfG1438. 26Each dayG2250 has enoughG713 troubleG2549 of its own.
