Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: (6:19) But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: (6:20) For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also (6:21) The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light (6:22) But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great [is] that darkness! (6:23) No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon (6:24) Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? (6:25) Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? (6:26) Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? (6:27) And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: (6:28) And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these (6:29) Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, [shall he] not much more [clothe] you, O ye of little faith? (6:30) Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (6:31) (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things (6:32) But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you (6:33) Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day [is] the evil thereof
(6:34)
