Luke 12:29 Context
27Consider the Lillies how they growe, they toile not; they spinne not: and yet I say vnto you, that Solomon in all his glory, was not arayed like one of these. 28If then God so clothe the grasse, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the ouen: how much more will he clothe you, O ye of litle faith? 29And seeke not yee what yee shall eate, or what ye shall drinke, neither be ye of doubtfull minde. 30For all these things doe the nations of the world seeke after: and your father knoweth that yee haue neede of these things. 31¶ But rather seeke yee the kingdome of God, and all these things shall be added vnto you.
