The New Testament of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.: The common English version, corrected by the final committee of the American Bible Union.
Bible. New Testament
(25)For this cause I say to you, take not thought for your life, what
ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor for your body, what ye shall
put on. Is not the life more than food, and the body than raiment?
(26)Behold the birds of the air, that they sow not, nor reap, nor
gather into barns; and your heavenly Father feeds them. Are ye not
much better than they? (27)And which of you by taking thought can add
one cubit to his stature[6:27]? (28)And why take ye thought for
raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They toil
not, nor spin; (29)and I say to you, that even Solomon in all his
glory was not arrayed like one of these. (30)And if God so clothes the
grass of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the
oven, will he not much more you, ye of little faith? (31)Take not
thought therefore, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink?
or, Wherewith shall we be clothed? (32)For after all these do the
Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that ye have need of all
these. (33)But seek first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness;
and all these shall be added to you. (34)Take not thought, therefore,
for the morrow; for the morrow will take thought for itself.
Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof.
VII.
JUDGE not, that ye be not judged. (2)For with what judgment ye judge,
ye shall be judged; and with what measure ye mete, it shall be
measured to you. (3)And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy
brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
(4)Or how wilt thou say to thy brother: Let me cast out the mote from
thine eye; and behold, the beam is in thine own eye? (5)Hypocrite!
first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then thou wilt see
clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
(6)Give not that which is holy to the dogs, nor cast your pearls
before the swine; lest they trample them with their feet, and turn and
rend you.
(7)Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and
it shall be opened to you. (8)For every one that asks receives; and he
that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened. (9)Or
what man is there of you, of whom if his son ask bread, will he give
him a stone? (10)And if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
(11)If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your
children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good
things to those who ask him? (12)Therefore all things whatever ye
would that men should do to you, so also do ye to them; for this is
the law and the prophets.
(13)Enter in through the strait gate; because wide is the gate, and
broad the way, that leads to destruction, and many are they who go in
thereat. (14)[7:14]Because strait is the gate, and narrow the way,
that leads to life, and few are they who find it.
(15)Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheeps' clothing, but
inwardly are ravening wolves.
