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.

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

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,

¹⁴ From men by thy hand, O Jehovah, From men of the world, whose portion is in `this' life, And whose belly thou fillest with thy treasure: They are satisfied with children, And leave the rest of their substance to their babes.

¹³ Like as a father pitieth his children, So Jehovah pitieth them that fear him.

²⁵ But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.

²⁶ Not so shall it be among you: but whosoever would become great among you shall be your minister;

¹¹ And of which of you that is a father shall his son ask a loaf, and he give him a stone? or a fish, and he for a fish give him a serpent?

¹² Or `if' he shall ask an egg, will he give him a scorpion?

¹³ If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall `your' heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

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

⁴⁶ For if ye love them that love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?

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