¹⁹ “^(A)Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. ²⁰ But store up for yourselves ^(B)treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal;

The Cure for Anxiety

²⁵ “^(A)For this reason I say to you, ^[a]do not be ^(B)worried about your ^[b]life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is life not more than food, and the body more than clothing?

²⁸ And why are you ^(A)worried about clothing? Notice how the lilies of the field grow; they do not labor nor do they spin thread for cloth, ²⁹ yet I say to you that not even ^(B)Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. ³⁰ But if God so clothes the ^(C)grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? ^(D)You of little faith! ³¹ Do not ^(E)worry then, saying, ‘What are we to eat?’ or ‘What are we to drink?’ or ‘What are we to wear for clothing?’ ³² For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for ^(F)your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. ³³ But ^[a]seek first ^[b]His kingdom and His righteousness, and ^(G)all these things will be ^[c]provided to you.

¹² Now we ^(A)have not received the spirit of ^(B)the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God.

Do Not Love the World

¹⁵ Do not love ^(A)the world nor the things in the world. ^(B)If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. ¹⁶ For all that is in the world, ^(C)the lust of the flesh and ^(D)the lust of the eyes and ^(E)the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. ^17 (F)The world is passing away and also its lusts; but the one who ^(G)does the will of God continues to live forever.
