Luke 12:22–31

Seek the Kingdom of God

Matt. 6:25–33

²²Then He said to His disciples, “Therefore I say to you, ^udo not worry about your life, what you will eat; nor about the body, what you will put on. ²³Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing. ²⁴Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor barn; and ^vGod feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds? ²⁵And which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? ²⁶If you then are not able to do the least, why ⁴are you anxious for the rest? ²⁷Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you, even ^wSolomon in all his glory was not ⁵arrayed like one of these. ²⁸If then God so clothes the grass, which today is in the field and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will He clothe you, O you of ^xlittle faith?

²⁹“And do not seek what you should eat or what you should drink, nor have an anxious mind. ³⁰For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and your Father ^yknows that you need these things. ^31zBut seek ⁶the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you.
