MOFFATT TRANSLATION

26 Look at the wild birds; they sow not, they reap not, they gather
nothing in granaries, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you
not worth more than birds?
3
27 Which of you add an ell to his height by troubling about it?
28 And why should you trouble over clothing? Look how the lilies
of the field; they neither toil nor spin,
29 and yet, I tell you, even Solomon in all his grandeur was

never robed like one of them.
30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field which blooms
to-day and is thrown to-morrow into the furnace, will not he much more

clothe you? O men, how little you trust him!
31 Do not be troubled, then, and cry, ‘What are we to eat?’ or ‘what
are we to drink?’ or ‘how are we to be clothed?’

32 (pagans make all that their aim in life) for well your heavenly
Father knows you need all that.
33 Seek God’s Realm and his goodness, and all that will be yours

over and above.
34 So never be troubled about to-morrow; to-morrow will take
care of itself. The day’s own trouble is enough for the day.

7:
1 Judge not, that you may not be judged yourselves;

2 for as you judge, so you will be judged, and the measure you
deal out to others will be dealt out to yourselves.
3 Why note the splinter in your brother’s eye, and fail to see the
plank in your own eye?

4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take out the splinter
from your eye,’ when there lies the plank in your own eye?
5 You hypocrite! Take the plank out of your own eye first, and

then you will see properly how to take the splinter out of your brother’s eye.
6 Never give dogs what is sacred, and never throw pearls before
swine, in case they trample them under foot and turn to gore you.

7 Ask and the gift will be yours, seek and you will find, knock
and the door will open to you;
8 for every one who asks receives, the seeker finds, the door is

opened to anyone who knocks.
9 Why, which of you, when asked by his son for a loaf, will
hand him a stone?
