²⁵Therefore I say to you, be not solicitous for your life, what you shall eat, nor for your body, what you shall put on. Is not the life more than the meat: and the body more than the raiment?

²⁶Behold the birds of the air, for they neither sow, nor do they reap, nor gather into barns: and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not you of much more value than they?

²⁷And which of you by taking thought, can add to his stature one cubit?

²⁸And for raiment why are you solicitous? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they labour not, neither do they spin.

²⁹But I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these.

³⁰And if the grass of the field, which is to day, and to morrow is cast into the oven, God doth so clothe: how much more you, O ye of little faith?

³¹Be not solicitous therefore, saying: What shall we eat: or what shall we drink, or wherewith shall we be clothed?

³²For after all these things do the heathens seek. For your Father knoweth that you have need of all these things.

³³Seek ye therefore first the kingdom of God, and his justice, and all these things shall be added unto you.

³⁴Be not therefore solicitous for to morrow; for the morrow will be solicitous for itself. Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof.

Matthew 6:26: 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?
