Luke 12:22-34

Do Not Worry

22 And He said to His disciples, “^aFor this reason I say to you, ¹do not worry about your ²life, as to what you will eat; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. 23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. 24 Consider the ^aravens, for they neither sow nor reap; they have no storeroom nor ^bbarn, and yet God feeds them; how much more valuable you are than the birds! 25 And which of you by worrying can add a single ¹^acubit to his ²life span? 26 Therefore, if you cannot do even a very little thing, why do you worry about other matters? 27 Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, but I tell you, not even ^aSolomon 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? ^aYou of little faith! 29 And do not seek what you will eat and what you will drink, and do not ^akeep worrying. 30 For ¹all these things the nations of the world eagerly seek, but your Father knows that you need these things. 31 But seek His kingdom, and ^athese things will be added to you. 32 ^aDo not fear, ^blittle flock, for ^cyour Father is well pleased to give you the kingdom.
33 “^aSell your possessions and give it as charity; make yourselves money belts which do not wear out, ^ban unfailing treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near nor moth destroys. 34 For ^awhere your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
