# General Information:

Jesus is talking to a group of people about what might happen to them as individuals. All instances of "you" and "your" are plural. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-you]])

# Which one of you by being anxious can add one cubit to his lifespan?

Jesus uses a question to teach the people. AT: "None of you can, just by worrying, add years to your life. You cannot add even one minute to your life! So you should not worry about things you need." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])

# one cubit

A cubit is a measure of a little less than half a meter. Here it is a metaphor for adding time to how long a person will live. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-bdistance]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# Why are you anxious about clothing?

Jesus uses a question to teach the people. AT: "You should not be worried about what you will wear." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])

# Think about

"Consider"

# lilies

A lily is a kind of wild flower. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-unknown]])

# I say to you

This adds emphasis to what Jesus says next.

# was not clothed like one of these

This can be stated in active form. AT: "did not wear clothes that are as beautiful as these lilies" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
