Matthew 6:26-34

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁶ Behold the birds of the air, for they neither sow, nor do they reap, nor gather into barns: and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not you of much more value than they?

²⁷ And which of you by taking thought, can add to his stature by one cubit?

²⁸ And for raiment why are you solicitous? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they labour not, neither do they spin.

²⁹ But I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these.

³⁰ And if the grass of the field, which is to day, and to morrow is cast into the oven, God doth so clothe: how much more you, O ye of little faith?

³¹ Be not solicitous therefore, saying, What shall we eat: or what shall we drink, or wherewith shall we be clothed?

³² For after all these things do the heathens seek. For your Father knoweth that you have need of all these things.

³³ Seek ye therefore first the kingdom of God, and his justice, and all these things shall be added unto you.

³⁴ Be not therefore solicitous for to morrow; for the morrow will be solicitous for itself. Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof.
