Luke 12:26

If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?
If then ye are not able to do even that which is least, why are ye anxious concerning the rest?
So if you are not even able to do a very little thing [such as that], why are you worried about the rest?
If then you are not able to do such a little thing as that, why are you anxious and troubled with cares about the rest?
If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?

If then ye be not able to do so much as the least thing, why are you solicitous for the rest?
And if you can’t do the little things, why worry about the big things?
No, you cannot even do a small thing like that. So, if you are always worrying about the things that you need, will that really help you?
Since you are not able to do this little thing, why do you worry about the rest?
If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest?
If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest?
If you cannot ·do [change] even the little things [by worrying], then why worry about the ·big things [L the rest]?

And then he added to the disciples, “That is why I tell you, don’t worry about life, wondering what you are going to eat. And stop bothering about what clothes you will need. Life is much more important than food, and the body more important than clothes. Think of the ravens. They neither sow nor reap, and they have neither store nor barn, but God feeds them. And how much more valuable do you think you are than birds? Can any of you make himself an inch taller however much he worries about it? And if you can’t manage a little thing like this, why do you worry about anything else? Think of the wild flowers, and how they neither work nor weave. Yet I tell you that Solomon in all his glory was never arrayed like one of these. If God so clothes the grass, which flowers in the field today and is burnt in the stove tomorrow, is he not much more likely to clothe you, you little-faiths? You must not set your heart on what you eat or drink, nor must you live in a state of anxiety. The whole heathen world is busy about getting food and drink, and your Father knows well enough that you need such things. No, set your heart on his kingdom, and your food and drink will come as a matter of course.”

If then you are not even able to do a very little thing, why are you anxious about the rest?
And if worry can’t even do such little things as that, what’s the use of worrying over bigger things?
“Has anyone by fussing before the mirror ever gotten taller by so much as an inch? If fussing can’t even do that, why fuss at all? Walk into the fields and look at the wildflowers. They don’t fuss with their appearance—but have you ever seen color and design quite like it? The ten best-dressed men and women in the country look shabby alongside them. If God gives such attention to the wildflowers, most of them never even seen, don’t you think he’ll attend to you, take pride in you, do his best for you?
If you then cannot do what is least, why are you anxious about the other things?
If then, you are unable to accomplish such an insignificant thing, why do you worry about · other things?
If you can’t do a small thing like that, why worry about other things?

If, then, ye are not able for the least -- why for the rest are ye anxious?
