22

And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Be not anxious for [your] life, what ye shall eat nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on.

23

For the life is more than the food, and the body than the raiment.

24

Consider the ravens, that they sow not, neither reap which have no store-chamber nor barn and God feedeth them: of how much more value are ye than the birds!

25

And which of you by being anxious can add a cubit unto the measure of his life?

26

If then ye are not able to do even that which is least, why are ye anxious concerning the rest?

27

Consider the lilies, how they grow: they toil not, neither do they spin yet I say unto you, Even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

28

But if God doth so clothe the grass in the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven how much more [shall he clothe] you, O ye of little faith?

29

And seek not ye what ye shall eat, and what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.

30

For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: but your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.

31

Yet seek ye his kingdom, and these things shall be added unto you.
