Luke 12:25

25 quis autem vestrum cogitando potest adicere ad staturam suam cubitum unum

Luke 12:25 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 12:25

And which of you with taking thought
In an anxious and distressing manner, for food and raiment, in order to preserve and continue life,

add to his stature one cubit?
The Persic version reads, "to his stature and height", as if this referred to the height of stature; whereas it seems rather to regard the age of a man, and the continuance of his life; (See Gill on Matthew 6:27).
