²⁷Which 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:

²⁷Which of you by taking thought, can adde one cubite vnto his stature?

²⁸And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lillies of the field, how they grow: they toile not, neither doe they spinne.

²⁹And yet I say vnto you, that euen Solomon in all his glory, was not arayed like one of these.

³⁰Wherefore, if God so clothe the grasse of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the ouen: shall he not much more clothe you, O yee of little faith?

³¹Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eate? or, what shall we drinke? or wherewithall shall wee be clothed?

³²(For after all these things doe the Gentiles seeke:) for your heauenly father knoweth that ye haue neede of all these things.

³³But seeke ye first the kingdome of God, and his righteousnesse, and all these things shalbe added vnto you.

³⁴Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of it selfe: sufficient vnto the day is the euill thereof.
