Tell her then to help me.” [41] But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, [42] but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.” Philippians 3:13-14 (ESV) – Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own.
