"Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof" is an aphorism which appears in the Sermon on the Mount in the Gospel of Matthew — Matthew 6:34. Its meaning is the philosophy that one should live in the present, without a care for tomorrow. 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".〔''Tr. Berakhot'' 9b〕 It is also similar to the Epicurean advice of writers such as Anacreon and Horace — ''quid sit futurum cras, fuge quaerere'' (avoid asking what the future will bring) — but Jesus's point was that God knew the worldly needs of men and so it was more important to seek his kingdom. Alternative translations include: * "Each day has enough trouble of its own." (New American Standard Bible) * "There is no need to add to the troubles each day brings" (Today's English Version) ==Sermons== Dr Thomas Sheridan wrote an eloquent sermon upon this text on the occasion of the death of Queen Anne. He absent-mindedly reused it for the anniversary of the accession of King George I and was, on this account, suspected of being a Jacobite and lost his chaplaincy. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
