Matthew 6:24–34

²⁴“^aNo one can ¹serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot ²serve God and ^3bwealth.

Do Not Worry

²⁵“^aFor this reason I say to you, ¹do not be ^bworried about your ²life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

²⁶“^aLook at the birds of the ¹air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they?

²⁷“And which of you by ^aworrying can ^badd a single ¹cubit to his ²life span?

²⁸“And why are you ^aworried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin,

²⁹yet I say to you that not even ^aSolomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these.

³⁰“But if God so clothes the ^agrass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? ^bYou of little faith!

³¹“Do not ^aworry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’

³²“For all these things the Gentiles eagerly seek; for ^ayour heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.

³³“But ¹seek first ²His kingdom and His righteousness, and ^aall these things will be ³added to you.

³⁴“So do not ^aworry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will worry about itself. ¹Each day has enough trouble of its own.
