Luke 12:22-31

22 And He said to His disciples, ^a“For this reason I say to you, ^{▼▼ Or stop being worried}do not worry about your ^{▼▼ Lit soul}life, as to what you will eat; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. 23 “For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. 24 “Consider the ^dravens, for they neither sow nor reap; they have no storeroom nor ^ebarn, and yet God feeds them; how much more valuable you are than the birds! 25 “And which of you by worrying can add a single ^{▼▼ Lit cubit (approx 18 in.)
,} ^ghour to his ^{▼▼ Or height}life’s span? 26 “If then you cannot do even a very little thing, why do you worry about other matters? 27 “Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; but I tell you, not even ⁱSolomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. 28 “But if God so clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you? ^jYou men of little faith! 29 “And do not seek what you will eat and what you will drink, and do not ^kkeep worrying. 30 “For ^{▼▼ Or these things all the nations of the world}all these things the nations of the world eagerly seek; but your Father knows that you need these things. 31 “But seek His kingdom, and ^mthese things will be added to you.
