22And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Be not anxious for [your] life, what ye shall eat; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on.

23For the life is more than the food, and the body than the raiment.

24Consider the ravens, that they sow not, neither reap; which have no store-chamber nor barn; and God feedeth them: of how much more value are ye than the birds!

25And which of you by being anxious can add a cubit unto the measure of his life?

26If then ye are not able to do even that which is least, why are ye anxious concerning the rest?

27Consider the lilies, how they grow: they toil not, neither do they spin; yet I say unto you, Even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
