²⁷ Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin,^[a] yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these. ²⁸ But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, you of little faith! ²⁹ And do not keep seeking what you are to eat and what you are to drink, and do not keep worrying. ³⁰ For it is the nations^[b] of the world that seek all these things, and your Father knows that you need them. ³¹ Instead, seek his^[c] kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.
