You cannot serve God and mammon.
Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life,
What you will eat or what you will drink;
Nor about your body, what you will put on.
Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?
Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns,
yet your Heavenly Father feeds them.
ARE YOU NOT OF MORE VALUE THAN THEY?
Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
So why do you worry about clothing?
Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin;
And yet I say to you that even Solomon in all
his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is,
And tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not
much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
Therefore do not worry, saying, what shall you eat?
Or what shall you drink? Or what shall we wear?
For after all these things the Gentiles seek.
For your Heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things.
But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness,
And all these things shall be added to you.
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow,
For tomorrow will worry about it’s own things.
Sufficient for the day is it’s own trouble.
FOR WHAT PROFIT IS IT TO A MAN IF HE GAINS THE WHOLE WORLD,
AND LOSES HIS OWN SOUL?
OR WHAT WILL A MAN GIVE IN EXCHANGE FOR HIS SOUL?
FOR EVEN THE SON OF MAN DID NOT COME TO BE SERVED,
BUT TO SERVE, AND TO GIVE HIS LIFE A RANSOM FOR MANY.
