New International Reader's Version

Matthew 6:27-33 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

27. "Can you add even one hour to your life by worrying?

28. "And why do you worry about clothes? See how the wild flowers grow. They don't work or make clothing.

29. But here is what I tell you. Not even Solomon in all of his glory was dressed like one of those flowers.

30. "If that is how God dresses the wild grass, won't he dress you even better? After all, the grass is here only today. Tomorrow it is thrown into the fire. Your faith is so small!

31. "So don't worry. Don't say, 'What will we eat?' Or, 'What will we drink?' Or, 'What will we wear?'

32. People who are ungodly run after all of those things. Your Father who is in heaven knows that you need them.

33. "But put God's kingdom first. Do what he wants you to do. Then all of those things will also be given to you.
