27 Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither labor nor [a]spin; but I tell you, not even (A)Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. 28 Now if God so clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you? (B)You of little faith! 29 And do not [b]seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, and do not (C)keep worrying. 30 For [c]all these things are what the nations of the world [d]eagerly seek; and your Father knows that you need these things. 31 But [e]seek His kingdom, and (D)these things will be [f]provided to you. 32 [g](E)Do not be afraid, (F)little flock, because (G)your Father has chosen to give you the kingdom.

33 (H)Sell your possessions and give to charity; make yourselves money belts that do not wear out, (I)an inexhaustible treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near nor does a moth destroy. 34 For (J)where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
