Matthew 6:19–34

^19aLay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where ^bmoth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves ^cbreak through and steal: ^20dbut lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither ^bmoth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not ^cbreak through nor steal: ²¹for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. ^22eThe light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be ^fsingle, thy whole body shall be full of light. ²³But if thine eye be ^fevil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore ^gthe light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness?

^24hNo man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. ⁱYe cannot serve God and ^kmammon. ^25lTherefore I say unto you, ^mTake 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? ²⁶ⁿBehold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? ²⁷Which of you by taking thought can add ^oone cubit unto his stature? ²⁸And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: ²⁹and yet I say unto you, That even ^pSolomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. ³⁰Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, ^qO ye of little faith? ³¹Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? ³²(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek): ^rfor your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. ³³But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; ^sand all these things shall be added unto you. ^34mTake therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
