22 And he spake vnto his disciples: Therfore I say vnto you, take no thought for your lyfe, what ye shall eate, neither for the body what ye shall put on. 23 The lyfe is more then meate, and the body is more then rayment. 24 Consider the Rauens, for they neither sowe nor reape, whiche neither haue storehouse nor barne, and God feedeth them: Howe much more are ye better then fethered fowles? 25 Which of you, with takyng thought, can adde to his stature one cubite? 26 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least: why take ye thought for the remnaunt? 27 Consider the Lylies how they growe, they labour not, they spinne not: and yet I say vnto you, that Solomon in al his royaltie was not clothed lyke one of these. 28 If God so clothe the grasse, whiche is to daye in the fielde, and to morowe is cast into the furnasse, howe much more wyll he clothe you, O ye of litle fayth? 29 And aske not ye what ye shall eate, or what ye shall drynke, neither be ye of doubtfull mynde: 30 For all suche thynges do the Heathen people of the worlde seke for: and your father knoweth that ye haue neede of these thynges. 31 But rather seke ye after ye kyngdome of God, and all these thinges shalbe ministred vnto you.
