23. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing.
24. Consider the ravens, that they neither sow nor reap; to them there is neither storeroom nor barn, and God feeds them. How much more are you worth than the birds?
25. And which of you by being anxious is able to add an hour to his life span?
26. If then you are not even able to do a very little thing, why are you anxious about the rest?
27. Consider the lilies, how they grow: they do not toil or spin, but I say to you, not even Solomon in all his glory was dressed like one of these.
28. But if God clothes the grass in the field in this way, although it is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he do so for you, you of little faith?
29. And you, do not consider what you will eat and what you will drink, and do not be anxious.
