12:22 Priorities and trusting God

(Mat. 6:25-34)

22Then Yeshua told his followers, “That’s why I’m telling you all not to worry about your lifestyle: what to eat or what to wear, 23because your life is more than food and your body is more than clothing. 24Look at the ravens. They don’t plant seeds or harvest crops and they have no storerooms or barns, yet God keeps them fed, and humans are worth a lot more than birds. 25Which of you can add even an hour to your life by spending more time worrying? 26So if you can’t even do something small like that, why worry about bigger things. 27[ref]Look at how the lilies grow. They don’t go to work or make fabric, yet even King Solomon at the height of his fame wasn’t dressed as well as one of them. 28So if God dresses the weeds in the paddock that are here today and incinerated tomorrow, how much more would he look after you all—you with little faith?

29So don’t all be looking for what to eat or to drink, and don’t waste time by worrying 30because people in every country in the world are looking for that, but your father already knows that you need those things. 31Rather you should be striving to enter his kingdom, and then all these things will come as a bonus.


22And he_said to the apprentices/followers Because_of this I_am_saying to_you_all, be_ not _worrying for_your life, what you_all_may_eat nor for_the body what you_all_may_dress_in.
23For/Because your life is more than the food, and the body than the clothing.
24Observe the ravens, because they_are_ not _sowing nor are_they_reaping, to_which not is a_storeroom nor barn, and the god is_feeding them.
For/Because_how_much more you_all are_carrying_value than the birds.
25And which of you_all worrying, is_able to_add an_hour to the lifespan of_him?
26Therefore if you_all_are_ not_even _being_able the_least, why are_you_all_worrying about the rest?
27Observe the lilies how it_is_growing, neither it_is_labouring nor it_is_spinning, but I_am_saying to_you_all, not_even Solomōn/(Shəlmoh) in all the glory of_him, clothed as one of_these.
28But if the god is_ thus _dressing the grass in the_field being here today, and tomorrow being_thrown into a_furnace, for_how_much rather you_all, little_faith ones?
29Also you_all be_ not _seeking what you_all_may_eat, or what you_all_may_drink, and be_ not _being_worried.
30For/Because all the nations of_the world are_seeking_after these things, but the father of_you_all has_known that you_all_are_needing of_these things.
31However be_seeking the kingdom of_him, and these things will_be_being_added to_you_all.
