30. For all these things do the nations of the world seek. But your Father knoweth that you have need of these things.

31. But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his justice, and all these things shall be added unto you.

32. Fear not, little flock, for it hath pleased your Father to give you a kingdom.

34. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

35. Let your loins be girt, and lamps burning in your hands.

36. And you yourselves like to men who wait for their lord, when he shall return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open to him immediately.
