Matthew 6:22-33 (Gospel)
- 22
- The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light.
- 23
- But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
- 24
- No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
- 25
- Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?
- 26
- Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
- 27
- Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
- 28
- So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin;
- 29
- and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
- 30
- Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
- 31
- Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
- 32
- For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
- 33
- But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
