³⁰ For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: but your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.

³² For after all these things do the Gentiles seek; for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

⁸ Be not therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

² that ye no longer should live the rest of your time in flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.

³ For the time past may suffice to have wrought the desire of the Gentiles, and to have walked in lasciviousness, lusts, winebibbings, revellings, carousings, and abominable idolatries:

⁴ wherein they think strange that ye run not with `them' into the same excess of riot, speaking evil of `of':

¹⁷ This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye no longer walk as the Gentiles also walk, in the vanity of their mind,

³² Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

¹⁴ Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.

²⁰ For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father that speaketh in you.

⁵ not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who know not God;

¹⁷ Jesus saith to her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended unto the Father: but go unto my brethren, and say to them, I ascend unto my Father and your Father, and my God and your God.

¹ Take heed that ye do not your righteousness before men, to be seen of them: else ye have no reward with your Father who is in heaven.

⁴⁷ And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more `than others?' do not even the Gentiles the same?
