..."Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the
Creator 'made them male and female,‘ and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his

How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant
women and nursing mothers! Pray that this will not take place in winter, because

the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire,

...So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we
drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these
things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek
first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things
will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about
tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough
trouble of its own.
