Moreoverwhen ye fast, benot,as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance:for they disfiguretheirfaces,that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you*, They havetheirreward.
17
Butthou, when thou fastest, anointthinehead,andwashthyface;
18
That thou appearnot unto men to fast, but unto thyFatherwhich is insecret:andthyFather,whichseethinsecret, shall rewardtheeopenly*.

No mancanservetwomasters:foreither he will hate the one,andlove the other; or else he will hold to the one,anddespise the other. Ye cannot*serveGodandmammon.

ThereforeIsay unto you, Take nothought for yourlife,what ye shall eat, orwhat ye shall drink; nor yet foryourbody,what ye shall put on. Isnot the life more thanmeat,and the body than raiment?

28
Andwhy take ye thoughtforraiment?Consider the lilies of the field,how they grow; they toilnot,neither do they spin:
29
And yet I say unto you,ThatevenSolomoninallhisglorywasnotarrayedlikeone of these.
30
Wherefore,ifGodsoclothe the grass of the field, which to dayis, and to morrow is castinto the oven, shall he notmuchmore clothe you, O ye of little faith?
31
Therefore take nothought, saying, What shall we eat? or,What shall we drink? or,Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32
(For afterall these things do the Gentilesseek:) foryourheavenlyFatherknoweththat ye have need of all these things.
33
But seek yefirst the kingdom of God,andhisrighteousness;andall these things shall be added unto you.

Takethereforenothoughtfor the morrow:for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.Sufficient unto the day is the evilthereof.
