 27But which of you by carefulness can add to his growth one cubit?
 28And why are ye careful about clothing? Observe with attention the lilies of the field, how they grow: they toil not, neither do they spin;
 29but I say unto you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed as one of these.
 30But if God so clothe the herbage of the field, which is to-day, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, will he not much rather you, O ye of little faith?
 31Be not therefore careful, saying, What shall we eat? or What shall we drink? or What shall we put on?
 32for all these things the nations seek after; for your heavenly Father knows that ye have need of all these things.
 33But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.

 8But having sustenance and covering, we will be content with these.
 9But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and many unwise and hurtful lusts, which plunge men into destruction and ruin.
 10For the love of money is the root of every evil; which some having aspired after, have wandered from the faith, and pierced themselves with many sorrows. (1 Tim. 6:6‑10)
