Luke 12:22–31

Do Not Be Anxious

²²And he said to his disciples, ^f“Therefore I tell you, ^gdo not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on. ²³For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. ^24hConsider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. ⁱOf how much more value are you than the birds! ²⁵And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his ^jspan of life?^{3 26}If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest? ²⁷Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, ^keven Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. ²⁸But if God so clothes the grass, which is alive in the field today, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, ^lO you of little faith! ²⁹And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor ^mbe worried. ³⁰For ⁿall the nations of the world seek after these things, and ⁿyour Father knows that you need them. ³¹Instead, ^oseek ^phis⁴ kingdom, ^qand these things will be added to you.
