Ye are the salt of the earth:
but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted?
it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be
trodden under foot of men.

another.

Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall
we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

(For after all these things do the Gentiles
seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all
these things.

Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought
for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet
for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat,
and the body than raiment?

I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat;
neither for the body, what ye shall put on.

The life is more than meat, and the body
[is more] than raiment.

Consider the ravens: for they neither sow
nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth
them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?

|
And which of you with taking thought can
add to his stature one cubit?
|
|
139

26
|
If ye then be not able to do that thing which
is least, why take ye thought for the rest?
|
|
140
|
27
|
Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil
not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all
his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

28
|
If then God so clothe the grass, which is
to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much
more [will he clothe] you, O ye of little faith?
|
|
142
|
29
|
And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what
ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
|
|
143
|
30
|
For all these things do the nations of the
world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these
things.

31
|
But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and
all these things shall be added unto you.
|

Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's
good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
