Jesus said to his followers, “So I tell you, don’t worry about the food you need to live. Don’t worry about the clothes you need for your body.
“When men bring you into the synagogues {\cf2\super [227]} before the leaders and other important men, don’t worry about what you will say.
Life is more important than food. And the body is more important than clothes.
So don’t always think about what you will eat or what you will drink. Don’t worry about it.
I want you to be free from worry. A man who is not married is busy with the Lord’s work. He is trying to please the Lord.
Don’t worry about anything. But pray and ask God for everything you need. And when you pray, always give thanks.
Keep your lives free from the love of money. And be satisfied with the things you have. God has said,
