Matthew 6:25

WHEREFORE I say unto you, Let not your souls be anxious what you shall eat and what you shall drink, and for your bodies what you shall wear. Is not the life more excellent than food, and the body than raiment?

The Peschito Syriac New Testament: Translated into English by John Wesley Etheridge

In The King James Version
