for all these things do the nations of the world seek after, and your Father hath known that ye have need of these things;
for ye are not the speakers, but the Spirit of your Father that is speaking in you.
so it is not will in presence of your Father who is in the heavens, that one of these little ones may perish.
and if ye may salute your brethren only, what do ye abundant? do not also the tax-gatherers so?
`Take heed your kindness not to do before men, to be seen by them, and if not -- reward ye have not from your Father who `is' in the heavens;
for all these do the nations seek for, for your heavenly Father doth know that ye have need of all these;
be ye not therefore like to them, for your Father doth know those things that ye have need of before your asking him;
`And ye -- seek not what ye may eat, or what ye may drink, and be not in suspense,
but, seek ye the reign of God, and all these things shall be added to you.
`Fear not, little flock, because your Father did delight to give you the reign;
Jesus saith to her, `Be not touching me, for I have not yet ascended unto my Father; and be going on to my brethren, and say to them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father, and to my God, and to your God.'
This, then, I say, and I testify in the Lord; ye are no more to walk, as also the other nations walk, in the vanity of their mind,
not in the affection of desire, as also the nations that were not knowing God,
