|---|---|---|
Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
|
And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
|
And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
