Matthew 6:19-34

Treasures in Heaven

19 “^aDo not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves ^atreasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; 21 for ^awhere your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
22 “^aThe eye is the lamp of the body; so then if your eye is ¹clear, your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if ^ayour eye is ¹bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!
24 “^aNo one can ¹serve 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 ¹serve God and ²^bwealth.

Do Not Worry

25 “^aFor this reason I say to you, ¹do not be ^bworried about your ²life, 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 ^aLook at the birds of the ¹air, 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 which of you by ^aworrying can ^badd a single ¹cubit to his ²life span? 28 And why are you ^aworried 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 ^aSolomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the ^agrass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? ^bYou of little faith! 31 Do not ^aworry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’ 32 For all these things the Gentiles eagerly seek; for ^ayour heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But ¹seek first ²His kingdom and His righteousness, and ^aall these things will be ³added to you.
34 “So do not ^aworry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will worry about itself. ¹Each day has enough trouble of its own.
