Bible verses about "moving" | BBE

¹ Put your feet down with care when you go to the house of God, for it is better to give ear than to make the burned offerings of the foolish, whose knowledge is only of doing evil. ² Be not unwise with your mouth, and let not your heart be quick to say anything before God, because God is in heaven and you are on the earth--so let not the number of your words be great. ³ As a dream comes from much business, so the voice of a foolish man comes with words in great number. ⁴ When you take an oath before God, put it quickly into effect, because he has no pleasure in the foolish; keep the oath you have taken. ⁵ It is better not to take an oath than to take an oath and not keep it. ⁶ Let not your mouth make your flesh do evil. And say not before the angel, It was an error. So that God may not be angry with your words and put an end to the work of your hands. ⁷ Because much talk comes from dreams and things of no purpose. But let the fear of God be in you. ⁸ If you see the poor under a cruel yoke, and law and right being violently overturned in a country, be not surprised, because one authority is keeping watch on another and there are higher than they. ⁹ It is good generally for a country where the land is worked to have a king. ¹⁰ He who has a love for silver never has enough silver, or he who has love for wealth, enough profit.

³³ But let your first care be for his kingdom and his righteousness; and all these other things will be given to you in addition.

²⁵ So I say to you, Take no thought for your life, about food or drink, or about clothing for your body. Is not life more than food, and the body more than its clothing? ²⁶ See the birds of heaven; they do not put seeds in the earth, they do not get in grain, or put it in store-houses; and your Father in heaven gives them food. Are you not of much more value than they? ²⁷ And which of you by taking thought is able to make himself a cubit taller? ²⁸ And why are you troubled about clothing? See the flowers of the field, how they come up; they do no work, they make no thread: ²⁹ But I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these. ³⁰ But if God gives such clothing to the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is put into the oven, will he not much more give you clothing, O you of little faith? ³¹ Then do not be full of care, saying, What are we to have for food or drink? or, With what may we be clothed? ³² Because the Gentiles go in search of all these things: for your Father in heaven has knowledge that you have need of all these things: ³³ But let your first care be for his kingdom and his righteousness; and all these other things will be given to you in addition. ³⁴ Then have no care for tomorrow: tomorrow will take care of itself. Take the trouble of the day as it comes.
