22The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.Select Matthew 6:22
23But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!Select Matthew 6:23
24No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.Select Matthew 6:24
25Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?Select Matthew 6:25
26Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?Select Matthew 6:26
27Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?Select Matthew 6:27
28And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:Select Matthew 6:28
29And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.Select Matthew 6:29
30Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?Select Matthew 6:30
31Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?Select Matthew 6:31
32(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.Select Matthew 6:32
33But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.Select Matthew 6:33
34Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.Select Matthew 6:34
