Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear.
“When you are brought before synagogues, rulers and authorities, do not worry about how you will defend yourselves or what you will say,
For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.
And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it.
I would like you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord’s affairs—how he can please the Lord.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”
