Luke 12:22-34

Luke 12:22-34 CPDV

And he said to his disciples: "And so I say to you: Do not choose to be anxious about your life, as to what you may eat, nor about your body, as to what you will wear. Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing. Consider the ravens. For they neither sow nor reap; there is no storehouse or barn for them. And yet God pastures them. How much more are you, compared to them? But which of you, by thinking, is able to add one cubit to his stature? Therefore, if you are not capable, in what is so little, why be anxious about the rest? Consider the lilies, how they grow. They neither work nor weave. But I say to you, not even Solomon, in all his glory, was clothed like one of these. Therefore, if God so clothes the grass, which is in the field today and thrown into the furnace tomorrow, how much more you, O little in faith? And so, do not choose to inquire as to what you will eat, or what you will drink. And do not choose to be lifted up on high. For all these things are sought by the Gentiles of the world. And your Father knows that you have need of these things. Yet truly, seek first the kingdom of God, and his justice, and all these things shall be added to you. Do not be afraid, little flock; for it has pleased your Father to give you the kingdom. Sell what you possess, and give alms. Make for yourselves purses that will not wear out, a treasure that will not fall short, in heaven, where no thief approaches, and no moth corrupts. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
