²⁸ Why should you worry about clothing? See how the wild flowers grow. They do not toil or spin, ²⁹ and yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his splendor was never dressed like one of them. ³⁰ But if God so beautifully dresses the wild grass, which is alive today and is thrown into the furnace tomorrow, will he not much more surely clothe you, you who have so little faith?

Are you not of more account than they? ²⁷ But which of you with all his worry can add a single hour to his life? ²⁸ Why should you worry about clothing? See how the wild flowers grow. They do not toil or spin, ²⁹ and yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his splendor was never dressed like one of them. ³⁰ But if God so beautifully dresses the wild grass, which is alive today and is thrown into the furnace tomorrow, will he not much more surely clothe you, you who have so little faith? ³¹ So do not worry and say, 'What shall we have to eat?' or 'What shall we have to drink?' or 'What shall we have to wear?' ³² For these are all things the heathen are in pursuit of, and your heavenly Father knows well that you need all this. ³³ But you must make his kingdom, and uprightness before him, your greatest care, and you will have all these other things besides. ³⁴ So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries of its own.

³¹ So do not worry and say, 'What shall we have to eat?' or 'What shall we have to drink?' or 'What shall we have to wear?' ³² For these are all things the heathen are in pursuit of, and your heavenly Father knows well that you need all this. ³³ But you must make his kingdom, and uprightness before him, your greatest care, and you will have all these other things besides.
