    25Do Not Worry“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Isn’t there more to life than food and more to the body than clothing?

    26Look at the birds in the sky: They do not sow, or reap, or gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you more valuable than they are?

    27And which of you by worrying can add even one hour to his life?

    28Why do you worry about clothing? Think about how the flowers of the field grow; they do not work or spin.

    29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed like one of these!

    30And if this is how God clothes the wild grass, which is here today and tomorrow is tossed into the fire to heat the oven, won’t he clothe you even more, you people of little faith?

    31So then, don’t worry saying,‘What will we eat?’ or‘What will we drink?’ or‘What will we wear?’

    32For the unconverted pursue these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.

    33But above all pursue his kingdom and righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

    34So then, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.

    26So if you cannot do such a very little thing as this, why do you worry about the rest?

    27Consider how the flowers grow; they do not work or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed like one of these!

    28And if this is how God clothes the wild grass, which is here today and tomorrow is tossed into the fire to heat the oven, how much more will he clothe you, you people of little faith!

    29So do not be overly concerned about what you will eat and what you will drink, and do not worry about such things.

    30For all the nations of the world pursue these things, and your Father knows that you need them.

    31Instead, pursue his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.

    32“Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is well pleased to give you the kingdom.

    33Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide yourselves purses that do not wear out– a treasure in heaven that never decreases, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.

    34For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

    15Then he said to them,“Watch out and guard yourself from all types of greed, because one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”

    16He then told them a parable:“The land of a certain rich man produced an abundant crop,

    17so he thought to himself,‘What should I do, for I have nowhere to store my crops?’

    18Then he said,‘I will do this: I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.

    19And I will say to myself,“You have plenty of goods stored up for many years; relax, eat, drink, celebrate!”’

    20But God said to him,‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded back from you, but who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’

    21So it is with the one who stores up riches for himself, but is not rich toward God.”

    22Exhortation Not to Worry Then Jesus said to his disciples,“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear.

    23For there is more to life than food, and more to the body than clothing.

    24Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn, yet God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than the birds!
