Luke 12:27-37

27 "Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; but I tell you, not even ¹Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these.

28 "But if God so clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you? ²You men of little faith!

29 "And do not seek what you will eat and what you will drink, and do not ³keep worrying.

30 "For all these things the nations of the world eagerly seek; but your Father knows that you need these things.

31 "But seek His kingdom, and ⁴these things will be added to you.

32 "⁵Do not be afraid, ⁶little flock, for ⁷your Father has chosen gladly to give you the kingdom.

33 "⁸Sell your possessions and give to charity; make yourselves money belts which do not wear out, ⁹an unfailing treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near nor moth destroys.

34 "For ¹⁰where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Be in Readiness

35 "¹¹Be dressed in ¹²readiness, and keep your lamps lit.

36 "Be like men who are waiting for their master when he returns from the wedding feast, so that they may immediately open the door to him when he comes and knocks.

37 "Blessed are those slaves whom the master will find ¹³on the alert when he comes; truly I say to you, that ¹⁴he will gird himself to serve, and have them recline at the table, and will come up and wait on them.
