Matthew 6:31

31 Don't worry and say, 'What will we eat?' or 'What will we drink?' or 'What will we wear?'

Matthew 6:31 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 6:31

Therefore take no thought
That is, for the morrow, as it is explained, ( Luke 6:34 ) for it is lawful to take proper care and thought for present food, drink, and raiment; but not to be anxiously concerned for futurity;

saying, what shall we eat? or what shall we drink? or wherewithal
shall we be clothed?
These are a repetition of the several things instanced in, and are the very language and expressions of men of little faith; as in the above citation, (rxml lkwa hm) , "what shall I eat tomorrow?"

Matthew 6:31 In-Context

29 But I tell you that even Solomon with his riches was not dressed as beautifully as one of these flowers.
30 God clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today but tomorrow is thrown into the fire. So you can be even more sure that God will clothe you. Don't have so little faith!
31 Don't worry and say, 'What will we eat?' or 'What will we drink?' or 'What will we wear?'
32 The people who don't know God keep trying to get these things, and your Father in heaven knows you need them.
33 The thing you should want most is God's kingdom and doing what God wants. Then all these other things you need will be given to you.
