Sufficient Unto The Day Is The Evil Thereof
"Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof" is an aphorism which appears in the Sermon on the Mount in the Gospel of Matthew chapter 6 — Matthew 6:34. The wording comes from the King James Version and the full verse reads: "Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." It implies that we should not worry about the future, since each day contains an ample burden of evils and suffering. The same words, in Hebrew, are used to express the same thought in the Rabbinic Jewish saying ''dyya l'tzara b'shaata'' (דיה לצרה בשעתה), "the suffering of the (present) hour is enough for it". The original Koine Greek reads ἀρκετὸν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἡ κακία αὐτῆς (''arketon tē hēmera hē kakia autes''); alternative translations include: * "Each day has enough trouble of its own." (New American Standard Bible) * "There is no need to add to the trouble ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
