Matthew
6:25-34
NIV
Translation
Matthew
6
25
"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat
or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important
than food, and the body more important than clothes?
26
Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in
barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable
than they?
27
Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
28
And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow.
They do not labor or spin.
29
Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like
one of these.
30
If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today
and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you,
O you of little faith?
31
So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?'
or 'What shall we wear?'
32
For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows
that you need them.
33
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things
will be given to you as well.
34
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.
Each day has enough trouble of its own." |

New American Standard
Matthew
6
25
"For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, 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
Look at the birds of the air, 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 who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life?
28
And why are you worried 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 Solomon in all his glory clothed himself
like one of these.
30
But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and
tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you?
You of little faith!
31
Do not worry then, saying, 'What will we eat?' or 'What will we drink?'
or 'What will we wear for clothing?'
32
For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father
knows that you need all these things.
33
But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things
will be added to you.
34
So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each
day has enough trouble of its own." |
