If a man engendereth an hundred free sons, and hath many days of age, and his soul useth not the goods of his chattel [or substance], and wanteth burying; I pronounce of this man, that a dead-born child is better than he.
Therefore I say to you, that ye be not busy to your life, what ye shall eat; nor to your body, with what ye shall be clothed. Whether life is not more than meat, and the body more than the cloth?
Work ye not meat that perisheth, but that that dwelleth into everlasting life, which meat man’s Son shall give to you; for God the Father hath marked him.
