Luke 12:23-28

New Catholic Bible

²³ For life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.

²⁴ “Consider the ravens. They do not sow or reap, they have no storehouse or barn, and yet God feeds them. You are of far greater importance than birds. ²⁵ Can any of you through worrying add a single moment to your span of life? ²⁶ If then such a small thing is beyond your power, why should you be concerned about the rest?

²⁷ “Consider the lilies and how they grow. They neither labor nor spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his royal splendor was clothed like one of these. ²⁸ If God so clothes the grass that grows today in the field and is thrown into the furnace tomorrow, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith!
