Luke 12:23 Context
21So is he that laieth vp treasure for himselfe, and is not rich towards God. 22¶ And he said vnto his disciples, Therefore I say vnto you, Take no thought for your life what yee shall eate, neither for the body what yee shall put on. 23The life is more then meate, and the body is more then raiment. 24Consider the rauens, for they neither sow nor reape, which neither haue storehouse nor barne, and God feedeth them: How much more are yee better then the foules? 25And which of you with taking thought can adde to his stature one cubite?
