But I wantyou to be free from concern.One who is unmarriedis concernedabout the things of the Lord,howhe may pleasethe Lord;
Castyour burdenupon the LORDand He will sustainyou; He will neverallowthe righteousto be shaken.
"And the one on whom seed was sownamongthe thorns,thisis the man who hearsthe word,and the worryof the worldand the deceitfulnessof wealthchokethe word,and it becomesunfruitful.
but the worriesof the world,and the deceitfulnessof riches,and the desiresfor other thingsenterin and chokethe word,and it becomesunfruitful.
"[He flees] becausehe is a hired handand is not concernedaboutthe sheep.
but one who is marriedis concernedabout the things of the world,howhe may pleasehis wife,
Be anxiousfor nothing,but in everythingby prayerand supplicationwith thanksgivinglet your requestsbe made knownto God.
Nowshe who is a widowindeedand who has been left alone,has fixed her hopeon Godand continuesin entreatiesand prayersnightand day.
