Bible verses about "weight" | NSB

Hebrews 12:1

1 A great cloud of witnesses surround us. Therefore let us lay aside every weight, and the sin that easily entangles us. Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.

Matthew 6:25-34

25 »I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink. And do not worry about your body, what you will wear. Is life worth more than food? And is the body worth more than clothes? 26 »Look at the birds of the sky, they do not sow, nor reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you worth more than they? 27 »Can you live longer by worrying about it? 28 »Why are you worried about clothing? Look at how the lilies of the field grow. They do not toil. They do not spin. 29 »I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory was dressed like these. 30 »If God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, won’t he care for you even more? You of little faith! 31 »Do not worry! Do not say: ‘What shall we eat?’ or, ‘What shall we drink?’ or, ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 »All people go in search of these things. Your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 »Seek (desire) (require) (serve) first the kingdom of God and his righteousness [continuously] and all these things will be added to you. 34 »Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have its own worries. Sufficient for each day is its own badness.
