Luke 12:25-38
-
25 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?
-
26 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?
-
27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
-
28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?
-
29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
-
30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
-
31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
-
32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
-
33 Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.
-
34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
-
35 Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
-
36 And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.
-
37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
-
38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
