You have grantedme lifeand lovingkindness;And Your carehas preservedmy spirit.
"Nowbehold,your servanthas foundfavorin your sight,and you have magnifiedyour lovingkindness,whichyou have shownme by savingmy life;but I cannotescapeto the mountains,for the disasterwill overtakeme and I will die;
Clotheme with skinand flesh,And knitme togetherwith bonesand sinews?
"The Spiritof Godhas mademe, And the breathof the Almightygivesme life.
"For thisreasonI sayto you, do not be worriedaboutyour life,[as to] whatyou will eatorwhatyou will drink;norfor your body,[as to] whatyou will puton. Is not lifemorethan food,and the bodymorethan clothing?
noris He servedby humanhands,as though He neededanything,since He Himselfgivesto all[people] lifeand breathand all things;
for in Him we liveand moveand exist,as evensomeof your own poetshave said,'For we alsoare His children.'
