Luke 12:29–33 · Berean Standard Bible

29 And do not be concerned about what you will eat or drink. Do not worry about it.

30 For the Gentiles of the world strive after all these things, and your Father knows that you need them.

31 But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added unto you.

32 Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom.
