G3309–μεριμνάω–merimnaō

So I say to you, Take no thought for your life, about food or drink, or about clothing for your body. Is not life more than food, and the body more than its clothing?

μεριμνᾶτε merimnate “do be anxious about”

And which of you by taking thought is able to make himself a cubit taller?

μεριμνῶν merimnōn “being anxious”

And why are you troubled about clothing? See the flowers of the field, how they come up; they do no work, they make no thread:

μεριμνᾶτε; merimnate “are you anxious?”

Then do not be full of care, saying, What are we to have for food or drink? or, With what may we be clothed?

μεριμνήσητε merimnēsēte “shall you be anxious”

Then have no care for tomorrow: tomorrow will take care of itself. Take the trouble of the day as it comes.

μεριμνήσητε merimnēsēte “shall you be anxious”μεριμνήσει merimnēsei “will be anxious about”

But when you are given up into their hands, do not be troubled about what to say or how to say it: for in that hour what you are to say will be given to you;

μεριμνήσητε merimnēsēte “may be anxious”

But the Lord, answering, said to her, Martha, Martha, you are full of care and troubled about such a number of things:

μεριμνᾷς merimnas “you are anxious”

And when they take you before the Synagogues and the authorities and the rulers, take no thought about what answers you will give, or what you will say:

μεριμνήσητε merimnēsēte “may be anxious”

And he said to his disciples, For this reason I say to you, Take no thought for your life, about what food you will take, or for your body, how it may be clothed.

μεριμνᾶτε merimnate “do be anxious”

And which of you by taking thought is able to make himself any taller?

μεριμνῶν merimnōn “being anxious”

If, then, you are not able to do even that which is least, why are you troubled about the rest?

μεριμνᾶτε; merimnate “are you anxious?”

But it is my desire for you to be free from cares. The unmarried man gives his mind to the things of the Lord, how he may give pleasure to the Lord:

μεριμνᾷ merimna “cares for”

But the married man gives his attention to the things of this world, how he may give pleasure to his wife.

μεριμνᾷ merimna “he cares for”

And the wife is not the same as the virgin. The virgin gives her mind to the things of the Lord, so that she may be holy in body and in spirit: but the married woman takes thought for the things of the world, how she may give pleasure to her husband.

μεριμνᾷ merimna “cares for”μεριμνᾷ merimna “she cares for”

So that there might be no division in the body; but all the parts might have the same care for one another.

μεριμνῶσιν merimnōsin “may have concern”

For I have no man of like mind who will truly have care for you.

μεριμνήσει· merimnēsei “will care for;”

Have no cares; but in everything with prayer and praise put your requests before God.

μεριμνᾶτε, merimnate “do worry about,”
