# lilies

Lilies are beautiful flowers that grow wild in the fields. If your language does not have a word for lily, you can use the name of another flower like that or translate it as "flowers" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-unknown]])

# neither do they spin
|

The process of making thread or yard for cloth is called "spinning." It may be helpful to make this explicit. AT: "neither do they make thread in order to make cloth" or "and they do not make yarn" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])

# If God so clothes the grass in the field
|
|
|
|
"If God clothes the grass in the field like that" or "If God gives the grass in the field such beautiful clothing." AT: "If God makes the grass in the field beautiful like this" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# is thrown into the oven

This can be stated in active form. AT: "someone throws it into a fire" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])

# how much more will he clothe you
|
|
|
|
This is an exclamation, not a question. Jesus emphasizes that he will certainly take care of people even better than he does the grass. This could be stated clearly. AT: "he will certainly clothe you even better" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-exclamations]]) |
