Matthew vi . 22—34 . " No one can serve two lords , [ or absolute masters ;] ibr either he will hate the one , and love the other ; or he will hold to the one , and despise the other . Ye cannot serve God and Mammon [ IanJdx > l ^ of ^ wea ^ you : Be not anxious for your life , what ye shall eat , or what ye shall drink ; nor for your body , what ye shall put on . Is not life more [ i . e . a greater gift ] than food ? and the body than clothing ?
Behold the birds of the air , for they sow not , nor reap , nor gather into barns , yet your heavenly father feedeth them ; are mot ye more important than they ? Now which of you , by his anxiety , can add to his stature one cubit , [ or prolong his lite one span ?] Why then are ye anxious about clothing ? Consider the lilies of the field , how they grow ! they toil not , nor spin , yet I say unto you , that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these . If then God so clothe the herb of the field s which to-day is , and to-morrow is cast into an oven , will he not much more [ clothe ] you , O ye of little faith ? Be not therefore anxious , saying :
' What shall we eat ? ' or * What shall we drink ? ' or ' How shall we be clothed ?_* for after all these things the gentiles seek , and your heavenly Father knoweth that ye need all these things . But seeK''fifsrfHe ~ kTn " gdom of God , and his rigiiteotisness , and all these things shall be added unto you . Be not therefore anxious about the morrow , for the morrow will be anxious about the things of itself , [ i . e . will have its own subjects of anxiety ;] sufficient for the day is its own evil . " Luke xii . 22—32 .
Pie said to his disciples : " Therefore I say unto you ; Be not anxious for your life , what ye shall eat ; nor for your body , what ye shall put on . Life is more than food , and the body than clothing . Consider the ravens , for they sow not , nor reap , have no storehouse , nor barn , yet God ^ feedeth thein ^ how much more important are ye than the birds ! Now which of you , by his anxiety , can add to his stature one cubit ? If then ye cannot do even the least thing , why are ye anxious about the rest ? Consider the lilies , how they grow ! they toil not , nor spin , yet I say unto
you , . that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these . If then God so clothe the herb , which to-day is in the fieId , arj . cl _ tq-moriow is _ cast „ j , nto an _ oven , howmuch more ., will he [ clothe ] you , 0 ye of little faith ! Wherefore seek not ye , what ye shall eat , or what ye shall drink , and be not in anxious suspense ; for after all these things the nations of the world seek , and your father knoweth that ye need these things . But seek the kingdom of God , and all these things shall be added unto you . Fear not , little flock ,, for your father is well pleased to give you the kingdom . "
