For these are the things that the [unconverted] Gentiles keep trying to get. But your heavenly Father [already] knows you need these things.
So, do not be like them, for your Father [already] knows what things you need, [even] before you ask Him.
For all these things are what the [unconverted] nations of the world keep trying to get. But your Father [already] knows you need these things.
So, I tell you this, and insist [on it] by [the authority of] the Lord: Do not continue to live with worthless thoughts as [unconverted] Gentiles do.
And my God will supply all your needs [also], according to His glorious wealth [enjoyed by fellowship] in Christ Jesus.
not in passionate lust, as the [unconverted] Gentiles, who do not know God, do.
