    29and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

    30Therefore, if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

    31Therefore do not worry, saying, What shall we eat? or What shall we drink? or What shall we wear?
