are not you of much greater value than they?
006:027 Which of you by being over-anxious can add a single foot to his height? 006:028 And why be anxious about clothing? Learn a lesson from the wild lilies. Watch their growth. They neither toil nor spin, 006:029 and yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his magnificence could array himself like one of these. 006:030 And if God so clothes the wild herbage which to-day flourishes and to-morrow is thrown into the oven, is it not much more certain that He will clothe you, you men of little faith? 006:031 Do not be over-anxious, therefore, asking `What shall we eat?' or `What shall we drink?' or `What shall we wear?' 006:032 For all these are questions that Gentiles are always asking; but your Heavenly Father knows that you need these things-- all of them. 006:033 But make His Kingdom and righteousness your chief aim, and then these things shall all be given you in addition. 006:034 Do not be over-anxious, therefore, about to-morrow, for to-morrow will bring its own cares. Enough for each day are its own troubles. 007:001 "Judge not, that you may not be judged; 007:002 for your own judgement will be dealt--and your own measure meted--to yourselves. 007:003 And why do you look at the splinter in your brother's eye, and not notice the beam which is in your own eye? 007:004 Or how say to your brother, `Allow me to take the splinter out of your eye,' while the beam is in your own eye? 007:005 Hypocrite, first take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly how to remove the splinter from your brother's eye. |
