The Joseph Smith Translation of the Galilean sermon alters this verse slightly: “Wherefore, seek not the things of this world but seek ye first to build up the kingdom of God, and to establish his righteousness, and all these things shall he added unto you” (JST, Matthew 6:38).
“One challenge we face on earth is to remember why we do what we do. It is not easy in a world with distractions, many of which seem to be good and noble and upright, to remain focused on fundamentals and riveted on matters of everlasting consequence. The duty of disciples is to discern and, where necessary, discard. Knowing that we cannot do everything, the follower of the Nazarene chooses to do that which is of greatest worth.” (Millet, An Eye Single to the Glory of God, p. 97.)
