Matthew 6:25

Matthew 6:25 Take no thought for your life. At the time the Common Version was made, the expression "Take thought" meant to be anxious. The Revised Version properly renders it, "Be not anxious". The Greek word "merimnao" means "to have the mind distracted". Christ does not forbid prudent forethought. Is not the life more than food? The argument is: God gave the life, and it is higher than food. If he gave it, he will see that it is sustained, if you trust in him. So, too, he made the body. He will see that it is clothed.
