Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?	And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?	If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?
