Luke 12:23

Read in context

Luke 12:21–25 · Berean Standard Bible

21 This is how it will be for anyone who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich toward God.”

22 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear.

23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.

24 Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storehouse or barn; yet God feeds them. How much more valuable you are than the birds!

25 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
