Luke 12:22-40
22AndG1161 he saidG3004 untoG4314 hisG846 disciplesG3588G3101, ThereforeG1223 I sayG3004 unto youG4771, TakeG3309 noG3361 thoughtG3309 forG3588G5590 yourG4771 lifeG3588G5590, whatG5101 ye shall eatG5315; neitherG3366 for the bodyG3588G4983, whatG5101 ye shall put onG1746. 23The lifeG3588G5590 isG1510 moreG4119 than meatG3588G5160, andG2532 the bodyG3588G4983 is more than raimentG3588G1742. 24ConsiderG2657 the ravensG3588G2876: forG3754 theyG4687 neitherG3756 sowG4687 norG3761 reapG2325; whichG3739 neitherG3756 haveG1510 storehouseG5009 norG3761 barnG596; andG2532 GodG3588G2316 feedethG5142 themG846: how muchG4214 moreG3123 areG1308 yeG4771 betterG1308 than the fowlsG3588G4071? 25AndG1161 whichG5101 ofG1537 youG4771 with taking thoughtG3309 canG1410 addG4369 toG1909 hisG846 statureG3588G2244 oneG1520 cubitG4083? 26IfG1487 yeG1410 thenG3767 be notG3777 able to doG1410 that thing which is leastG1646, whyG5101 take ye thoughtG3309 forG4012 the restG3062? 27ConsiderG2657 the liliesG3588G2918 howG4459 they growG837: they toilG2872 notG3756, they spinG3514 notG3761; and yetG1161 I sayG3004 unto youG4771, thatG3004 SolomonG4672 inG1722 allG3956 hisG846 gloryG3588G1391 wasG4016 notG3761 arrayedG4016 likeG5613 oneG1520 of theseG3778. 28IfG1487 thenG1161 GodG3588G2316 soG3779 clotheG294 the grassG3588G5528, which isG1510 to dayG4594 inG1722 the fieldG3588G68, andG2532 to morrowG839 is castG906 intoG1519 the ovenG2823; how muchG4214 moreG3123 will he clothe youG4771, O ye of little faithG3640? 29AndG2532 seekG2212 notG3361 yeG4771 whatG5101 ye shall eatG5315, orG2228 whatG5101 ye shall drinkG4095, neitherG3361 be ye of doubtful mindG3349. 30ForG1063 allG3956 these thingsG3778 doG1934 the nationsG3588G1484 of the worldG3588G2889 seek afterG1934: andG1161 yourG4771 FatherG3588G3962 knowethG1492 thatG3754 ye have needG5535 of these thingsG3778.
31But ratherG4133 seek yeG2212 the kingdomG3588G932 of GodG3588G2316; andG2532 allG3956 these thingsG3778 shall be addedG4369 unto youG4771. 32FearG5399 notG3361, littleG3398 flockG4168; forG3754 it isG2106 yourG4771 Father’sG3588G3962 good pleasureG2106 to giveG1325 youG4771 the kingdomG3588G932. 33SellG4453 thatG5225 yeG4771 haveG5225, andG2532 giveG1325 almsG1654; provideG4160 yourselvesG1438 bagsG905 which waxG3822 notG3361 oldG3822, a treasureG2344 inG1722 the heavensG3588G3772 that faileth notG413, whereG3699 noG3756 thiefG2812 approachethG1448, neitherG3761 mothG4597 corruptethG1311. 34ForG1063 whereG3699 yourG4771 treasureG3588G2344 isG1510, thereG1563 willG1510 yourG4771 heartG3588G2588 beG1510 alsoG2532. 35LetG1510 yourG4771 loinsG3588G3751 beG1510 girded aboutG4024, andG2532 your lightsG3588G3088 burningG2545; 36AndG2532 ye yourselvesG4771 likeG3664 unto menG444 that waitG4327 forG3588G2962 theirG1438 lordG3588G2962, whenG4219 he will returnG360 fromG1537 the weddingG3588G1062; thatG2443 when he comethG2064 andG2532 knockethG2925, they may openG455 unto himG846 immediatelyG2112. 37BlessedG3107 are thoseG1565 servantsG3588G1401, whomG3739 the lordG3588G2962 when he comethG2064 shall findG2147 watchingG1127: verilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG4771, thatG3754 he shall gird himselfG4024, andG2532 makeG347 themG846 to sit down to meatG347, andG2532 will come forthG3928 and serveG1247 themG846. 38AndG2532 ifG1437 he shall comeG2064 inG1722 theG5438 secondG1208 watchG5438, orG2532 comeG2064 inG1722 theG5438 thirdG5154 watchG5438, andG2532 findG2147 them soG3779, blessedG3107 areG1510 thoseG1565 servantsG3588G1401. 39AndG1161 thisG3778 knowG1097, thatG3754 ifG1487 the goodman of the houseG3588G3617 had knownG1492 whatG4169 hourG5610 the thiefG3588G2812 would comeG2064, he would have watchedG1127, andG2532 notG3756 have sufferedG863 hisG846 houseG3588G3624 to be broken throughG1358. 40BeG1096 yeG4771 thereforeG3767 readyG2092 alsoG2532: forG3754 the SonG3588G5207 of manG3588G444 comethG2064 at an hourG5610 whenG3739 ye thinkG1380 notG3756.
