Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, How shall we be clothed?
All Commentaries on Matthew 6:31 Go To Matthew 6
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
Therefore be not anxious, says He, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? Or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your Father knows that you have need of all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Here He shows most manifestly that these things are not to be sought as if they were our blessings in such sort, that on account of them we ought to do well in all our actings, but yet that they are necessary.
