25And so I say to you, do not be anxious about your life, as to what you will eat, nor about your body, as to what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26Consider the birds of the air, how they neither sow, nor reap, nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of much greater value than they are? 27And which of you, by thinking, is able to add one cubit to his stature? 28And as for clothing, why are you anxious? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither work nor weave. 29But I say to you, that not even Solomon, in all his glory, was arrayed like one of these. 30So if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and cast into the oven tomorrow, how much more will he care for you, O little in faith?
