Matthew 6:25–7:14
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 who of you by being aworried can badd a single 1hour to his 2life?
28 “And why are you aworried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin,
29 yet 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 the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; 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 1care for itself. 2Each day has enough trouble of its own.
1 “aDo not judge so that you will not be judged.
2 “For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and 1aby your standard of measure, it will be measured to you.
3 “Why do you alook at the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
4 “aOr how 1can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ and behold, the log is in your own eye?
5 “You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.
6 “aDo not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.
7 “1aAsk, and bit will be given to you; 2seek, and you will find; 3knock, and it will be opened to you.
8 “For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
9 “Or what man is there among you 1who, when his son asks for a loaf, 2will give him a stone?
10 “Or 1if he asks for a fish, he will not give him a snake, will he?
11 “If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, ahow much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!
12 “In everything, atherefore, 1treat people the same way you want 2them to treat you, for bthis is the Law and the Prophets.
13 “aEnter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it.
14 “For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.
