Luke 12:27-29
Holman Christian Standard Bible
27 “Consider how the wildflowers grow: They don’t labor or spin thread. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon(A) in all his splendor was adorned like one of these! 28 If that’s how God clothes the grass, which is in the field today and is thrown into the furnace tomorrow, how much more will He do for you—you of little faith?(B) 29 Don’t keep striving for what you should eat and what you should drink, and don’t be anxious.

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.

27 ·Consider [Look; Think] how the lilies grow; they don’t ·work [toil] or ·make clothes for themselves [L spin thread]. But I tell you that even Solomon ·with his riches [L in all his glory] was not dressed as beautifully as one of these flowers. 28 God clothes [L If God clothes…?] the ·grass [wildflower] in the field, which is alive today but tomorrow is thrown into the ·fire [L furnace; oven]. So how much more will God clothe you? ·Don’t have so little faith [or You people of little faith; or How little faith you have]! 29 Don’t always think about what you will eat or what you will drink, and don’t keep worrying.
