Luke

Luke 12:30–33

³⁰For the Gentiles of the world strive after all these things, and your Father knows that you need them. ³¹But seek His^e kingdom, and these things will be added unto you.

³²Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom. ³³Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide yourselves with purses that will not wear out, an inexhaustible treasure in heaven, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.
