22 Then he said to his disciples: “That is why I say to you, stop being anxious about your lives* as to what you will eat or about your bodies as to what you will wear.+ 23 For the life* is worth more than food and the body more than clothing. 24 Consider the ravens: They neither sow seed nor reap; they have neither barn nor storehouse; yet God feeds them.+ Are you not worth much more than birds?+ 25 Who of you by being anxious can add a cubit* to his life span? 26 If, therefore, you cannot do such a small thing, why be anxious about the remaining things?+ 27 Consider how the lilies grow: They neither toil nor spin; but I tell you that not even Solʹo·mon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these.+ 28 Now if this is how God clothes the vegetation in the field that today exists and tomorrow is cast into an oven, how much more will he clothe you, you with little faith!
