wmth Luke:12:22-34
wmth@Luke:12:22 @ Then turning to His disciples He said, »For this reason I say to you, `Dismiss all anxious care for your lives, inquiring what you are to eat, and for your bodies, what you are to put on.'
wmth@Luke:12:23 @ For life is a greater gift than food, and the body is a greater gift than clothing.
wmth@Luke:12:24 @ Observe the ravens. They neither sow nor reap, and have neither store-chamber nor barn. And yet God feeds them. How far more precious are you than the birds!
wmth@Luke:12:25 @ And which of you is able by anxious thought to add a moment to his life?
wmth@Luke:12:26 @ If then you are unable to do even a very little thing, why be over-anxious about other matters?
wmth@Luke:12:27 @ Observe the lilies, how they grow. They neither labour nor spin. And yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendour was as beautifully dressed as one of these.
wmth@Luke:12:28 @ But if God so clothes the vegetation in the fields, that blooms to-day and to-morrow will be thrown into the oven, how much more certainly will He clothe you, you men of feeble faith!
wmth@Luke:12:29 @ »Therefore, do not be asking what you are to eat nor what you are to drink; and do not waver between hope and fear.«
wmth@Luke:12:30 @ For though the nations of the world pursue these things, as for you, your Father knows that you need them.
wmth@Luke:12:31 @ But make His Kingdom the object of your pursuit, and these things shall be given you in addition.
wmth@Luke:12:32 @ »Dismiss your fears, little flock: your Father finds a pleasure in giving you the Kingdom.«
wmth@Luke:12:33 @ Sell your possessions and give alms. Provide yourselves with purses that will never wear out, a treasure inexhaustible in Heaven, where no thief can come nor moth consume.
wmth@Luke:12:34 @ For where your wealth is stored, there also will your heart be.
