American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:
But desire earnestly the greater gifts. And moreover a most excellent way show I unto you.
Whence come wars and whence come fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your pleasures that war in your members?
Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and {Greek: are jealous.}covet, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war; ye have not, because ye ask not.
Be not therefore anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
For after all these things do the Gentiles seek; for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
But seek ye first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may spend it in your pleasures.
