Luke 12:22-30
New King James Version
Do Not Worry(A)
22 Then He said to His disciples, “Therefore I say to you, (B)do not worry about your life, what you will eat; nor about the body, what you will put on. 23 Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing. 24 Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor barn; and (C)God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds? 25 And which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? 26 If you then are not able to do the least, why [a]are you anxious for the rest? 27 Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you, even (D)Solomon in all his glory was not [b]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 (E)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 (F)knows that you need these things.

29 (A)To him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also. (B)And from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic either. 30 (C)Give to everyone who asks of you. And from him who takes away your goods do not ask them back. 31 (D)And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise.
32 (E)“But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. 33 And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. 34 (F)And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive back, what credit is that to you? For even sinners lend to sinners to receive as much back. 35 But (G)love your enemies, (H)do good, and (I)lend, [a]hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and (J)you will be sons of the Most High.

The Day of the Lord
10 But (F)the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which (G)the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be [b]burned up. 11 Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be (H)in holy conduct and godliness, 12 (I)looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will (J)be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will (K)melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for (L)new heavens and a (M)new earth in which righteousness dwells.
