19. And I will say to my soul: Soul, you have many goods, stored up for many years. Relax, eat, drink, and be cheerful.'
20. But God said to him: 'Foolish one, this very night they require your soul of you. To whom, then, will those things belong, which you have prepared?'
21. So it is with him who stores up for himself, and is not wealthy with God."
22. And he said to his disciples: "And so I say to you: Do not choose to be anxious about your life, as to what you may eat, nor about your body, as to what you will wear.
23. Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.
24. Consider the ravens. For they neither sow nor reap; there is no storehouse or barn for them. And yet God pastures them. How much more are you, compared to them?
25. But which of you, by thinking, is able to add one cubit to his stature?
26. Therefore, if you are not capable, in what is so little, why be anxious about the rest?
27. Consider the lilies, how they grow. They neither work nor weave. But I say to you, not even Solomon, in all his glory, was clothed like one of these.
28. Therefore, if God so clothes the grass, which is in the field today and thrown into the furnace tomorrow, how much more you, O little in faith?
29. And so, do not choose to inquire as to what you will eat, or what you will drink. And do not choose to be lifted up on high.
30. For all these things are sought by the Gentiles of the world. And your Father knows that you have need of these things.
