This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
6:24 God and wealth
24 “No one can serve two masters because he’ll either hate one and like the other one, or else will be supporting one and despising the other, so you all can’t serve both God and money.
25 “So that’s why I’m telling you not to worry about your worldly life—things like what you’ll all eat or drink, or how you look and what you’ll dress in. Isn’t life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 Think about the birds in the sky—they don’t plant seeds or harvest crops or gather grain into barns, but it’s your heavenly father who feeds them. Aren’t each of you worth more than them? 27 Who can add an hour to their lifetime by worrying?
28 “Why would you be worrying about clothes? Look how the flowers grow in the fields—they don’t work or make fabric, 29 [ref]but I can tell you that not even King Solomon at the peak of his reign was dressed at well as the flowers. 30 So if God dresses the plants in the fields that are here today and thrown away tomorrow, won’t he care much more for you, you people with little faith.
31 “That means that you all don’t need to worry about having anything to eat or drink, or having some clothes to wear. 32 People with no trust in God are trying to obtain all those things, but your heavenly father already knows that you need these things. 33 So instead you should be striving to enter God’s kingdom and to be guiltless in his eyes, and then all these other things will just follow. 34 Don’t worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow can worry about itself—today’s problems are enough by themselves.
