1 Corinthians 4:1-5

4 People should look at us as men who are servants of Christ. We take care of the secret things of God.

2 A man who takes care of things must be a person his master can trust.

3 As for me, I care very little what you think about me or how any man judges me. I do not even judge myself.

4 I do not know of anything wrong in me, but that does not say I am right. The Lord is my judge.

5 So do not judge me before it is time. Wait until the Lord comes. The things which have been kept hidden in the dark he will bring out into the light. He will show what is in people's hearts. At that time God will tell each man how good his work is.

Matthew 6:24-34

24 `No man can work for two masters. He will hate one and love the other. Or he will obey one and despise the other. You cannot work for both God and money.

25 `So, I tell you this. Do not be troubled about what you will eat or drink to keep alive. Do not be troubled about what you will wear on your body. Life itself is worth more than food, and the body is worth more than clothes.

26 `Look at the birds that fly in the air. They do not plant or cut or keep any food. Yet your Father in heaven feeds them. Are you not worth more than birds?

27 Can any one of you live any longer by troubling yourself about these things?

28 And why are you troubled about clothes? See how the flowers grow in the fields. They do not work or make cloth.

29 I tell you, King Solomon was a great man. But he was not dressed as fine as one of these flowers.

30 God dresses the grass in the fields so it looks nice. It is in the field one day and the next day it is put on the fire. If God dresses the grass like that, he cares much more that you have clothes to wear. You do not believe in God very much!

31 `So then, do not keep asking, "What shall we eat?" "What shall we drink?" and "What shall we wear?"

32 It is the people who do not believe in God who work for all these things. Your Father in heaven knows that you need them all.

33 `Work first for God's kingdom and what he calls good. Then you will have all these things also.

34 `So do not be troubling yourself about tomorrow. Tomorrow will have its own trouble. Today's trouble is enough for today.'
