| Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap. … Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; … Seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. … Your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.1 |
| Having food and raiment let us be therewith content. … They that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.2 |
| The cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.3 |
| Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.4 |
