Matthew Study Notes—Chapter 6

New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
- 6:33
  
  Keep on . . . seeking: The Greek verb form indicates continuous action and could be rendered “Seek continually.” Jesus’ true followers would not seek the Kingdom for a time and then go on to other things. Rather, they must always make it their first concern in life.
  
  the Kingdom: Some ancient Greek manuscripts read “God’s Kingdom.”
  
  his: Refers to God, the “heavenly Father” mentioned at Mt 6:32.
  
  righteousness: Those who seek God’s righteousness readily do his will and conform to his standards of right and wrong. This teaching stood in stark contrast with that of the Pharisees, who sought to establish their own righteousness.—Mt 5:20.
