  2. Matthew 6:27Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

  5. Matthew 6:34Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
  6. Matthew 10:19But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.

  8. Luke 12:11And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:

  10. Luke 12:26If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?

  12. 1 Corinthians 7:33But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.
  13. 1 Corinthians 7:34There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
  14. 1 Corinthians 12:25That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.
  15. Philippians 2:20For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state.
