Luke 12 — Context

28

Therefore, if God so clothes the grass, which is in the field today and thrown into the furnace tomorrow, how much more you, O little in faith?

29

And so, do not choose to inquire as to what you will eat, or what you will drink. And do not choose to be lifted up on high.

30

For all these things are sought by the Gentiles of the world. And your Father knows that you have need of these things.

31

Yet truly, seek first the kingdom of God, and his justice, and all these things shall be added to you.

32

Do not be afraid, little flock; for it has pleased your Father to give you the kingdom.

33

Sell what you possess, and give alms. Make for yourselves purses that will not wear out, a treasure that will not fall short, in heaven, where no thief approaches, and no moth corrupts.

34

For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
