From Barnaby
A (30) Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
B (31) Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
C (32) (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
D (33) But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness;
C’ and all these things shall be added unto you.
B’ (34) Take therefore no thought for the morrow:
A’ for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
Thanks Barnaby. It looks like verse 34 has its own mini chiasm.
34
a. Take therefore no thought
b. for the morrow:
b’. for the morrow
a’. shall take thought for the things of itself.
well spotted!
The word “seek” in verses 32 and 33 seem like they should have a connection. Alternatively the structure may be:
A. (For after all these things
B. do the Gentiles seek:)
C. for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
B’. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness;
A’. and all these things shall be added unto you.
