Luke 12:27-32
New International Version
Luke 12:27-32
New International Version
27 “Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor(A) was dressed like one of these. 28 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you—you of little faith!(B) 29 And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. 30 For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father(C) knows that you need them.(D) 31 But seek his kingdom,(E) and these things will be given to you as well.(F)
32 “Do not be afraid,(G) little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom.(H)

Luke 12:27-32
New Living Translation
27 “Look at the lilies and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. 28 And if God cares so wonderfully for flowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?
29 “And don’t be concerned about what to eat and what to drink. Don’t worry about such things. 30 These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers all over the world, but your Father already knows your needs. 31 Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and he will give you everything you need.
32 “So don’t be afraid, little flock. For it gives your Father great happiness to give you the Kingdom.

Luke 12:27-32
New King James Version
27 Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you, even (A)Solomon in all his glory was not [a]arrayed like one of these. 28 If then God so clothes the grass, which today is in the field and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will He clothe you, O you of (B)little faith?
29 “And do not seek what you should eat or what you should drink, nor have an anxious mind. 30 For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and your Father (C)knows that you need these things. 31 (D)But seek [b]the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you.
32 “Do not fear, little flock, for (E)it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
