    Luke 12:27-28

    27 Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not [a]arrayed like one of these. 28 If then God so clothes the grass, which today is in the field and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith?

    That bible?

        That’s a different bible with a different title. It’s really close, so maybe that’s why they confuse it. But that testament they are quoting from is actually called “Mein Kampf”.
