Luke:12:22-34
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And he said to his disciples ,
For this cause I say unto you ,
Be not careful for life ,
what ye shall eat ,
nor for the body ,
what ye shall put on .
*
The life is more than food ,
and the body than raiment .
*
Consider the ravens ,
that they sow not nor reap ;
which have neither storehouse nor granary ;
and God feeds them .
How much better are ye than the birds ?
*
But which of you by being careful can add to his stature one cubit ?
*
If therefore ye cannot [
do ]
even what is least ,
why are ye careful about the rest ?
*
Consider the lilies how they grow :
they neither toil nor spin ;
but I say unto you ,
Not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed as one of these .
*
But if God thus clothe the grass ,
which to-day is in the field and to-morrow is cast into [
the ]
oven ,
how much rather you ,
O ye of little faith ?
*
And ye ,
seek not what ye shall eat or what ye shall drink ,
and be not in anxiety ;
*
for all these things do the nations of the world seek after ,
and your Father knows that ye have need of these things ;
*
but seek his kingdom ,
and [
all ]
these things shall be added to you .
*
Fear not ,
little flock ,
for it has been the good pleasure of your Father to give you the kingdom .
*
Sell what ye possess and give alms ;
make to yourselves purses which do not grow old ,
a treasure which does not fail in the heavens ,
where thief does not draw near nor moth destroy .
*
For where your treasure is ,
there also will your heart be .
