You cannot be the bondservants both of God and of gold. |
| Matthew 6:25 | For this cause I say unto you, Do not be careful about your life, what ye should eat and what ye should drink; nor for your body what ye should put on. Is not the life more than food, and the body than raiment? | Therefore, I tell you, don't be anxious for your life, what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will put on. Isn't life more than food, and the body more than clothing? | For this reason I charge you not to be over-anxious about your lives, inquiring what you are to eat or what you are to drink, nor yet about your bodies, inquiring what clothes you are to put on. Is not the life more precious than its food, and the body than its clothing? |

They neither toil nor spin, |
| Matthew 6:29 | but I say unto you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed as one of these. | yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not dressed like one of these. | and yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his magnificence could array himself like one of these. |

Sufficient to the day [is] its own evil. | Therefore don't be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day's own evil is sufficient. | Do not be over-anxious, therefore, about to-morrow, for to-morrow will bring its own cares. Enough for each day are its own troubles. |
