Matthew 6:
24 - 34
|
| 24 |
"No one can serve two masters; for either he
will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and
despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. |
| 25 |
"Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious
about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink, nor about your
body, what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than
clothing? |
| 26 |
Look at the birds of the air: they neither
sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are
you not of more value than they? |
| 27 |
And which of you by being anxious can add
one cubit to his span of life? |
| 28 |
And why are you anxious about clothing?
Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin;
|
| 29 |
yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his
glory was not arrayed like one of these. |
| 30 |
But if God so clothes the grass of the
field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not
much more clothe you, O men of little faith? |
| 31 |
Therefore do not be anxious, saying, `What
shall we eat?' or `What shall we drink?' or `What shall we wear?'
|
| 32 |
For the Gentiles seek all these things; and
your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. |
| 33 |
But seek first his kingdom and his
righteousness, and all these things shall be yours as well. |
| 34 |
"Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow,
for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Let the day's own trouble be sufficient
for the day. |
