    22And he said to his disciples, For this reason I say to you, Take no thought for your life, about what food you will take, or for your body, how it may be clothed.

    23Is not life more than food, and the body than its clothing?

    24Give thought to the ravens; they do not put seeds into the earth, or get together grain; they have no store-houses or buildings; and God gives them their food: of how much greater value are you than the birds!

    25And which of you by taking thought is able to make himself any taller?

    26If, then, you are not able to do even that which is least, why are you troubled about the rest?

    27Give thought to the flowers: they do no work, they make no thread; and still I say to you, Even Solomon, in all his glory, was not clothed like one of these.

    28But if God gives such clothing to the grass in the field, which today is living, and tomorrow will be burned in the oven, how much more will he give clothing to you, O men of little faith?

    29And do not give overmuch thought to your food and drink, and let not your mind be full of doubts.

    30For the nations of the world go in search of all these things: but your Father has knowledge that you have need of them.

    31But let your chief care be for his kingdom, and these other things will be given to you in addition.

    30But if God gives such clothing to the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is put into the oven, will he not much more give you clothing, O you of little faith?

    31Then do not be full of care, saying, What are we to have for food or drink? or, With what may we be clothed?

    32Because the Gentiles go in search of all these things: for your Father in heaven has knowledge that you have need of all these things:

    33But let your first care be for his kingdom and his righteousness; and all these other things will be given to you in addition.

    34Then have no care for tomorrow: tomorrow will take care of itself. Take the trouble of the day as it comes.

    25So I say to you, Take no thought for your life, about food or drink, or about clothing for your body. Is not life more than food, and the body more than its clothing?

    26See the birds of heaven; they do not put seeds in the earth, they do not get in grain, or put it in store-houses; and your Father in heaven gives them food. Are you not of much more value than they?

    27And which of you by taking thought is able to make himself a cubit taller?
