Bible verse
Consider how the lilies grow: They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.
Luke 12:27 · BSB
The verses around it, from Luke 12.
23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.
24 Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storehouse or barn; yet God feeds them. How much more valuable you are than the birds!
25 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
26 So if you cannot do such a small thing, why do you worry about the rest?
27 Consider how the lilies grow: They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.
28 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith!
29 And do not be concerned about what you will eat or drink. Do not worry about it.
30 For the Gentiles of the world strive after all these things, and your Father knows that you need them.
31 But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added unto you.
