Luke 12:23 in context

  1. 21So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”
  2. 22He said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what you will wear.
  3. 23Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.
  4. 24Consider the ravens: they don’t sow, they don’t reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds!
  5. 25Which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his height?
