19 Lay
not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt,
and where thieves break through and steal:
20 But
lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust
doth
corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 For
where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
22 The
light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole
body
shall be full of light.
23 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!
24 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.
25 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?
26 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?
27 Which
of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28 And
why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how
they
grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29 And
yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed
like
one of these.
30 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?
31 Therefore
take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or,
Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 For
after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father
knoweth
that ye have need of all these things.
33 But
seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these
things
shall be added unto you.
34 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. (KJV)
