And he said unto his disciples - For this cause, I say unto you, - Be not anxious for the life, what ye shall eat, nor yet for yourbody, what ye shall put on;

For, the life, is more, than the food, and, the body, than, the clothing.

Consider well the ravens - That they sow nor, neither do they reap, which have neither chamber nor barn, - and, God, feedeth, them! By how much do, ye, excel, the birds?

And, who from among you, though anxious, can, unto his stature, add a cubit?

If then, not even the least thing, ye can do, why, concerning the rest, are ye anxious?

Consider well the lilies, how they grow: they toil not, neither do they spin, and yet I say unto you - Not even Solomon, in all his glory, was arrayed like one of these.

But, if God thus adorneth, the grass, which is, in a field, to-day, and, to-morrow, into an oven, is cast, how much rather you, O little-of-faith?

Ye, therefore, be not seeking what ye shall eat and what ye shall drink, and be not held in suspense;

For, after all these things, do, the nations of the world, seek, - but, your Father, knoweth that ye need these things.

Notwithstanding, be seeking his kingdom, - and, these things, shall be added unto you.

Be not afraid, the dear little flock! for your Father delighteth to give you, the kingdom.
