22. 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.
23. The life is more than food, and the body than raiment.
24. 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?
25. But which of you by being careful can add to his stature one cubit?
26. If therefore ye cannot do even what is least, why are ye careful about the rest?
27. 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.
28. 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?
29. And ye, seek not what ye shall eat or what ye shall drink, and be not in anxiety;
30. for all these things do the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that ye have need of these things;
31. but seek his kingdom, and all these things shall be added to you.
32. Fear not, little flock, for it has been the good pleasure of your Father to give you the kingdom.
33. 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.
