Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

Darum sage ich euch: Sorget nicht für euer Leben, was ihr essen und trinken werdet, auch nicht für euren Leib, was ihr anziehen werdet. Ist nicht das Leben mehr denn Speise? und der Leib mehr denn die Kleidung?
Por tanto os digo: No os congojéis por vuestra vida, qué habéis de comer, o que habéis de beber; ni por vuestro cuerpo, qué habéis de vestir: ¿no es la vida más que el alimento, y el cuerpo que el vestido?
Por eso les digo: no se preocupen por su vida, por lo que comerán, ni por su cuerpo, por lo que vestirán. ¿No vale la vida más que el alimento, y el cuerpo más que la ropa?
C'est pourquoi je vous dis: Ne vous inquiétez pas pour votre vie de ce que vous mangerez, ni pour votre corps, de quoi vous serez vêtus. La vie n'est-elle pas plus que la nourriture, et le corps plus que le vêtement?
Perciò, io vi dico: Non siate con ansietà solleciti per la vita vostra, di che mangerete, o di che berrete; nè per lo vostro corpo, di che vi vestirete; non è la vita più che il nutrimento, e il corpo più che il vestire?
Por isso vos digo: Não andeis cuidadosos quanto à vossa vida, pelo que haveis de comer ou pelo que haveis de beber; nem quanto ao vosso corpo, pelo que haveis de vestir. Não é a vida mais do que o mantimento, e o corpo mais do que o vestuário?
「所以,我告訴你們,不要為你們的生命憂慮吃甚麼喝甚麼 ,或為你們的身體憂慮穿甚麼。生命不勝於飲食嗎?身體不勝於衣裳嗎?
