How much better are ye than they! And why\r\ntake ye thought for raiment?

And the words of the Gospel, although probably containing\r\na deeper meaning, may yet be taken in their more\r\nsimple and obvious sense, as teaching us not to be disturbed\r\nwith anxieties about our food and clothing, but, while living\r\nin plainness, and desiring only what is needful, to put our trust\r\nin the providence of God.</p>","headings":["The writings of Origen, Vol. 2 of 2","BOOK VII.","Chapter XXIV."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg70693-paragraph-501"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"796a3e19df4615c07c4cb1ebd722242e1c0d83710554521351c41210e4399422","edition_title":"The writings of Origen, Vol. 2 (of 2)","edition_translators":["Frederick Crombie","W.
