Luke 12:27 in Context — Luke 12

25 Qui de vous, par ses inquiétudes, peut ajouter une coudée à la durée de sa vie?

26 Si donc vous ne pouvez pas même la moindre chose, pourquoi vous inquiétez-vous du reste?

27 Considérez comment croissent les lis: ils ne travaillent ni ne filent; cependant je vous dis que Salomon même, dans toute sa gloire, n’a pas été vêtu comme l’un d’eux.

28 Si Dieu revêt ainsi l’herbe qui est aujourd’hui dans les champs et qui demain sera jetée au four, à combien plus forte raison ne vous vêtira-t-il pas, gens de peu de foi?

29 Et vous, ne cherchez pas ce que vous mangerez et ce que vous boirez, et ne soyez pas inquiets.
