Matthew 6:27-29
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
27 And who of you by worrying and being anxious can add one unit of measure (cubit) to his stature or to the [a]span of his life?(A)
28 And why should you be anxious about clothes? Consider the lilies of the field and [b]learn thoroughly how they grow; they neither toil nor spin.
29 Yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his [c]magnificence (excellence, dignity, and grace) was not arrayed like one of these.(B)
