6 24 'No servant can be slave to two masters; for either he will hate the first and love the second, or he will be devoted to the first and think nothing of the second. You cannot serve God and Money. - Care and Anxiety Mt.6.25-34 (Galilee)- Lk.12.22-34 | NEB Contents | notes
6 25 'Therefore I bid you put away anxious thoughts about food and drink to keep you alive, and clothes to cover your body. Surely life is more than food, the body more than clothes. 6 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow and reap and store in barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. You are worth more than the birds! 6 27 Is there a man of you who by anxious thought can add a foot to his height? Or: a day to his life. 6 28 And why be anxious about clothes? Consider how the lilies grow in the fields; they do not work, they do not spin; One witness reads: Consider the lilies: they neither card nor spin, nor labour. 6 29 and yet, I tell you, even Solomon in all his splendour was not attired like one of these. 6 30 But if that is how God clothes the grass in the fields, which is there today, and tomorrow is thrown on the stove, will he not all the more clothe you?
