Matthew 6:25 - “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?"

The clothing we wear is not what is most important – trusting God is.

Parts of the OT were written by priests, scribes, etc. who happened to be *male* and thus translated their views in such a manner.

As rich as the OT is in fundamental universal truths, The New Testament supercedes it with Truth, Grace, Forgiveness, Everlastiing Life exemplified by *The One Person*.
