Matthew 6:31

Read in context

Matthew 6:29–33 · Berean Standard Bible

29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.

30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

31 Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’

32 For the Gentiles strive after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.

33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.
