Matthew 6:30 (ASV)

Passage

But if God doth so clothe the grass of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, [shall he] not much more [clothe] you, O ye of little faith?

Nearby Context

Matthew 6:28 And why are ye anxious concerning raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

Matthew 6:29 yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

Matthew 6:30 But if God doth so clothe the grass of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, [shall he] not much more [clothe] you, O ye of little faith?

Matthew 6:31 Be not therefore anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

Matthew 6:32 For after all these things do the Gentiles seek; for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

Study Lenses

The verse centers on "faith", "doth", "clothe", "grass", "field", "to-day", "to-morrow", and "cast". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "faith" and "doth", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The nearby context moves from verse 29's "yet I say unto you that even..." into verse 31's "Be not therefore anxious saying What shall...", so "faith" and "doth" belong inside that flow. In Matthew context, the local focus is Christ, faith, and discipleship.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "faith" and "doth" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
