31 [a]But rather seek ye after the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be cast upon you.
32 [b]Fear not, little flock: for it is your Father’s pleasure to give you the kingdom.
33 ¶ (A)[c]Sell that ye have, and give [d]alms: make you bags which wax not old: a treasure that can never fail in heaven, where no thief cometh neither moth corrupteth.
