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
When he said that the one is to be sought first, Jesus clearly intimates that the other is to be sought later—not that it is to be sought at a later time but that it is to be sought as a thing of secondary importance. He showed that the one is to be sought as our good, that the other is to be sought as something needful for us, but that the needful is to be sought for the sake of the good. .
