Settings

23 "But if 1your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!
24 "2No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot * serve God and 3wealth.

The Cure for Anxiety

25 "4For this reason I say to you, do not be 5worried about your life, 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 "6Look at the birds of the air, 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 7worried can 8add a single hour to his life?
28 "And why are you 9worried 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 10Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these.
30 "But if God so clothes the 11grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? 12You of little faith!
31 "Do not 13worry 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 14your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
33 "But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and 15all these things will be added to you.
