Matthew 6:28 in Context — Matthew 6

26 Olhai para as aves do céu, que não semeiam, nem ceifam, nem ajuntam em celeiros; e contudo vosso Pai celestial as alimenta. Não sois vós muito mais importantes que elas?

27 E qual de vós poderá, por sua ansiedade, acrescentar um côvado à sua estatura?

28 E por que andais ansiosos pela roupa? Prestai atenção aos lírios do campo, como crescem; eles nem trabalham nem fiam.

29 Mas eu vos digo que nem mesmo Salomão, em toda a sua glória, se vestiu como um deles.

30 Se Deus veste desta maneira a erva do campo, que hoje existe, e amanhã é lançada no forno, não [vestirá] ele muito mais a vós, que tendes pouca fé?
