Therefore, I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
World English Bible (WEB)
Therefore{G1223}{G5124} I say{G3004}{(G5719)} unto you{G5213}, Take no{G3361} thought{G3309}{(G5720)} for your{G5216} life{G5590}, what{G5101} ye shall eat{G5315}{(G5632)}, or{G2532} what{G5101} ye shall drink{G4095}{(G5632)}; nor yet for{G3366} your{G5216} body{G4983}, what{G5101} ye shall put on{G1746}{(G5672)}. Is{G2076}{(G5748)} not{G3780} the life{G5590} more than{G4119} meat{G5160}, and{G2532} the body{G4983} than raiment{G1742}?
Strong's King James
(25) Because of this reason I tell you, stop being worried about your life, what you eat or drink nor your body, what you put on. Isn't life more than food and the body more than clothing?
The F.O.G
That's why I tell you: Release your anxiety about daily needs - food, drink, clothing. Life consists of far more than just physical provisions, and your body is more than just something to dress up.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
‘Because of this I say to you, be not anxious for your life, what ye may eat, and what ye may drink, nor for your body, what ye may put on. Is not the life more than the nourishment, and the body than the clothing?
