25 "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat

or

drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important

than food, and the body more important than clothes?

26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in

barns, and yet your

heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?

27 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his lifeB?

28 "And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field

grow.

They do not labor or spin.

29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed

like one of these.

30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today

and tomorrow is thrown into the

fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

31 So do not worry, saying, `What shall we eat?' or `What shall we drink?'

or `What shall we wear?'

32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father

knows that you need them.

33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things

will be given to you as well.

34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about

itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

 

71 "Do not judge, or you too will be judged.

2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the

measure you use, it will be

measured to you.

3 "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no

attention to the plank in your own eye?

4 How can you say to your brother, `Let me take the speck out of your eye,'

when all the time there is a

plank in your own eye?

5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you

will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.

6 "Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If

you

do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to

pieces.

7 "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the

door will be opened to you.

8 For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who

knocks, the door will be opened.

 

14 The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the

Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand

them, because they are spiritually discerned.

15 The spiritual man makes judgments about all things, but he himself is

not subject to any man's judgment:
