Matthew 6:31

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

Therefore take no thought,.... That is, for the morrow, as it is explained, Lu 6:34 for it is lawful to take proper care and thought for present food, drink, and raiment; but not to be anxiously concerned for futurity;saying, what shall we eat?

or what shall we drink? or wherewithal shall we be clothed? These are a repetition of the several things instanced in, and are the very language and expressions of men of little faith; as in the above citation, rxml lkwa hm, "what shall I eat tomorrow?"
