Bible. Matthew
40:006:019 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and
rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
40:006:020 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither
moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break
through nor steal:
40:006:021 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
40:006:022 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be
single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
40:006:023 But 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!
40:006:024 No 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.
40:006:025 Therefore 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?
40:006:026 Behold 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?
40:006:027 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his
stature?
40:006:028 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of
the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
40:006:029 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was
not arrayed like one of these.
40:006:030 Wherefore, 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?
40:006:031 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What
shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
40:006:032 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your
heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
40:006:033 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness;
and all these things shall be added unto you.
40:006:034 Take 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.
40:007:001 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
40:007:002 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with
what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
40:007:003 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye,
but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
40:007:004 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote
out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
