Bible verses about "weight" | Lamsa

Hebrews 12:1

1 THEREFORE, seeing we also are surrounded with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which does so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us;

Matthew 6:25-34

25 For this reason, I say to you, Do not worry for your life, what you will eat, and what you will drink, nor for your body, what you will wear. Behold, is not life much more important than food, and the body than clothing? 26 Watch the birds of the sky, for they do not sow, neither do they harvest, nor gather into barns, and yet your Father in heaven feeds them. Are you not much more important than they? 27 Who is among you who by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? 28 Why do you worry about clothing? Observe the wild flowers, how they grow; they do not get tired out, nor do they spin. 29 But I say to you, that not even Solomon with all of his glory was covered like one of them. 30 Now if God clothes in such fashion the grass of the field, which today is and tomorrow falls into the fireplace, is he not much more to you, O you of little faith? 31 Therefore do not worry or say, What will we eat, or what will we drink, or with what will we be clothed? 32 For worldly people seek after all these things. Your Father in heaven knows that all of these things are also necessary for you. 33 But you seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all of these things shall be added to you. 34 Therefore do not worry for tomorrow; for tomorrow will look after its own. Sufficient for each day, is its own trouble.
