Do Not Worry

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 not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? ^26 (C)Look at the birds of the ^[c]air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they? ²⁷ And which of you by ^(D)worrying can ^(E)add a single ^[d]cubit to his ^[e]life span? ²⁸ And why are you ^(F)worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, ²⁹ yet I say to you that not even ^(G)Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. ³⁰ But if God so clothes the ^(H)grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? ^(I)You of little faith! ³¹ Do not ^(J)worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’ ³² For all these things the Gentiles eagerly seek; for ^(K)your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. ³³ But ^[f]seek first ^[g]His kingdom and His righteousness, and ^(L)all these things will be ^[h]added to you.

³⁴ “So do not ^(M)worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will worry about itself. ^[i]Each day has enough trouble of its own.
