# For the Gentiles search for these things "for the Gentiles are concerned about what they will eat, drink, and wear" # your heavenly Father knows that you need them Jesus is implying that God will make sure their basic needs are met. # Father This is an important title for God. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/guidelines-sonofgodprinciples]]) # seek first his kingdom and his righteousness Here "kingdom" refers to God's rule as king. AT: "concern yourselves with serving God, who is your king, and doing what is right" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]]) # all these things will be given to you This can be stated in active form. AT: "God will provide all these things for you" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]]) # Therefore "Because of all this" # tomorrow will be anxious for itself Jesus is describing "tomorrow" as if it is a person who can worry. Jesus means that a person will have enough to worry about when the next day comes. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-personification]])
