Matthew 6:33 But seek you first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you. We may consider the year before us as a desk containing 365 letters addressed to us; one for every day, announcing its trials and prescribing its employments, with an order to open daily no letter but the letter for the day. Now, we may be strongly tempted to unseal, beforehand, some of the remainder. This, however, would serve only to embarrass us, while we should violate the rule which our Owner and Master has laid down for us. (Jay.) Parallel Verses KJV: But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. |
