³² for all these do the nations seek for, for your heavenly Father doth know that ye have need of all these;

⁸ be ye not therefore like to them, for your Father doth know those things that ye have need of before your asking him;

² no more in the desires of men, but in the will of God, to live the rest of the time in the flesh;

³ for sufficient to us `is' the past time of life the will of the nations to have wrought, having walked in lasciviousnesses, desires, excesses of wines, revelings, drinking-bouts, and unlawful idolatries,

⁴ in which they think it strange -- your not running with them to the same excess of dissoluteness, speaking evil,

¹⁷ This, then, I say, and I testify in the Lord; ye are no more to walk, as also the other nations walk, in the vanity of their mind,

³² `Fear not, little flock, because your Father did delight to give you the reign;

¹⁴ so it is not will in presence of your Father who is in the heavens, that one of these little ones may perish.

¹ `Take heed your kindness not to do before men, to be seen by them, and if not -- reward ye have not from your Father who `is' in the heavens;

⁴⁷ and if ye may salute your brethren only, what do ye abundant? do not also the tax-gatherers so?
