Not even Solomon in all his glory

Spring flowers in Jerusalem

^{Sermon of Mount Matthew 6}

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?

  
 ²⁶Behold 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?

  
 ²⁸And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They toil not, neither do they spin,

  
 ²⁹and yet I say unto you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

  
 ³⁰Therefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall He not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

  
 ³¹Therefore take no thought, saying, `What shall we eat?' or `What shall we drink?' or `Wherewith 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.

  
 ³³But 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.
