Luke 12:22

¶ And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.

And {G1161} he said {G2036} unto {G4314} his {G846} disciples {G3101}, Therefore {G1223}{G5124} I say {G3004} unto you {G5213}, Take {G3309} no {G3361} thought {G3309} for your {G5216} life {G5590}, what {G5101} ye shall eat {G5315}; neither {G3366} for the body {G4983}, what {G5101} ye shall put on {G1746}.

To his talmidim Yeshua said, “Because of this I tell you, don’t worry about your life — what you will eat or drink; or about your body — what you will wear.

Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear.

And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on.
