31 But seek His kingdom, and these things will be provided to you. Luke 12:31 NASB
31 Yet seek ye his kingdom, and these things shall be added unto you. Luke 12:31 ASB
31 But [strive for and actively] seek His kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well. Luke12:31 AMP
31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you. Luke 12:31 KJV
31 But seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you. Luke 12:31 NKJV
These are all the same verses taken from 5 popular versions of the Bible. They all have the same meaning, this idea of seek ye the kingdom. What kingdom is that the one of Jesus? We have been talking about seeking first the kingdom. The five versions say provided, added, given, added, and added. Some have the same word, and some use a different word, but it all means the same thing all the things above will be given to you, added to you. I wanted to talk about that before I (with God's direction) move on in the series because we have been using this verse a lot and have not talked about the last part of the verse what will be given or added.
22 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Be not anxious for your [l]life, what ye shall eat; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. 23 For the life is more than the food, and the body than the raiment. 24 Consider the ravens, that they sow not, neither reap; which have no store-chamber nor barn; and God feedeth them: of how much more value are ye than the birds! 25 And which of you by being anxious can add a cubit unto the measure of his life? 26 If then ye are not able to do even that which is least, why are ye anxious concerning the rest? 27 Consider the lilies, how they grow: they toil not, neither do they spin; yet I say unto you, Even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 28 But if God doth so clothe the grass in the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven; how much more shall he clothe you, O ye of little faith? 29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, and what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. 30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: but your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. Luke 12: 22-30 ASV
I will leave it there for today and let these verses soak into your soul. For tomorrow I will unpack these verses.
