What does Matthew 6:31 mean?
John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
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
