AND SEEING THE MULTITUDES, HE WENT UP INTO A MOUNTAIN: AND WHEN HE WAS SET, HIS DISCIPLES CAME UNTO HIM: AND HE OPENED HIS MOUTH, AND TAUGHT THEM, SAYING, TAKE NO THOUGHT FOR YOUR LIFE, WHAT YE SHALL EAT, OR WHAT YE SHALL DRINK. IS NOT THE LIFE MORE THAN MEAT, AND THE BODY THAN RAIMENT?... WHEREFORE, IF GOD SO CLOTHE THE GRASS OF THE FIELD, SHALL HE NOT MUCH MORE CLOTHE YOU, O YE OF LITTLE FAITH? ... BUT SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD, AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS; AND ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE ADDED UNTO YOU.
MATTHEW 5:1,2
MATTHEW 6:25, 30, 33
