It is important to distinguish between the positive aspect of being careful, which involves diligence and attentiveness, and the negative aspect, which involves worry and anxiety.<br><br><b>Positive Aspects of Being Careful</b><br><br>1. <b>Diligence and Attentiveness</b>: The Bible encourages believers to be careful in their conduct and actions, emphasizing the importance of living wisely and making prudent decisions. In <a href="/ephesians/5-15.htm">Ephesians 5:15</a> , Paul exhorts, "Pay careful attention, then, to how you walk, not as unwise but as wise." This carefulness is about living a life that reflects wisdom and understanding of God's will.<br><br>2. <b>Guarding One's Heart and Mind</b>: <a href="/proverbs/4-23.htm">Proverbs 4:23</a> advises, "Guard your heart with all diligence, for from it flow springs of life." Here, being careful involves protecting one's inner life and thoughts, ensuring they align with God's truth and righteousness.<br><br>3. <b>Faithfulness in Stewardship</b>: In the parable of the talents (<a href="/matthew/25-14.htm">Matthew 25:14-30</a>), Jesus illustrates the importance of being careful and responsible with what God has entrusted to us. The careful steward is one who diligently invests and multiplies the resources given by the master.<br><br><b>Negative Aspects of Being Careful</b><br><br>1. <b>Anxiety and Worry</b>: The Bible frequently warns against the kind of carefulness that leads to anxiety and worry. In <a href="/philippians/4-6.htm">Philippians 4:6</a> , Paul instructs, "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." Here, the term "anxious" is synonymous with being overly careful or worried, which detracts from trusting in God's provision and sovereignty.<br><br>2. <b>Distraction from Spiritual Priorities</b>: In <a href="/luke/10-41.htm">Luke 10:41-42</a> , Jesus addresses Martha's anxiety and distraction, saying, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things. But only one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, and it will not be taken away from her." Martha's carefulness about her duties led her to miss the opportunity to focus on Jesus' teaching, highlighting the danger of letting worldly concerns overshadow spiritual priorities.<br><br>3. <b>Trust in God&#8217;s Provision</b>: Jesus teaches in <a href="/matthew/6-25.htm">Matthew 6:25-34</a> about the futility of worrying about material needs, urging His followers to seek first the kingdom of God. He reassures them that God knows their needs and will provide, thus encouraging a carefulness that rests in faith rather than anxiety.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>In summary, the biblical concept of being careful involves a balance between diligence and trust. Believers are called to be attentive and wise in their actions while avoiding the pitfalls of anxiety and worry. By focusing on God's promises and seeking His kingdom, Christians can navigate the challenges of life with a carefulness that honors God and reflects His peace.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

We may do so, however, by remembering that into our word are really woven two strands, one Teutonic and one Latin. The former element implies a measure of trouble or sorrow, as the pain from a blow, a throb, a distress in the mind; the latter, from Latin cura, implies a stretching forward, attention to some person or thing. We can often discern these two senses side by side in the Bible, and sometimes they almost run into one another. This is so especially in the King James Version. We can treat the subject best by keeping separate, as far as possible, these two senses.<br><br> I. In the Sense of Anxiety, Solicitude.<br><br>1. Substantives:<br><br>In the Old Testament several words are translated "care" in this sense. "Thy father hath left off caring for the asses," concern about them literally, "matters of the asses" (dibhre, <a href="/1_samuel/10-2.htm">1 Samuel 10:2</a>). "They shall eat bread by weight, and with care" (de'-aghah, "carefulness" the Revised Version (British and American); "fearfulness" the American Standard Revised Version, <a href="/ezekiel/4-16.htm">Ezekiel 4:16</a>). The same word is rendered carefulness (the King James Version and the Revised Version (British and American); "fearfulness," the American Standard Revised Version, <a href="/ezekiel/12-18.htm">Ezekiel 12:18-19</a>); and "fear" (King James Version; "carefulness," the Revised Version (British and American) and the American Standard Revised Version, <a href="/joshua/22-24.htm">Joshua 22:24</a>). Again, "heaviness" (the Kings James Version; the Revised Version (British and American) and the American Standard Revised Version), but "care" (the Revised Version, margin and the American Revised Version, margin, <a href="/proverbs/12-25.htm">Proverbs 12:25</a>). Once more, "sorrow" (the King James Version, the Revised with Version (British and American) and the American Standard Revised Version), but "care" (the Revised Version, margin and the American Revised Version, margin, <a href="/jeremiah/49-23.htm">Jeremiah 49:23</a>). There is also the word charadhah "trembling," "fear," "anxiety." It is rendered "trembling" (<a href="/genesis/27-33.htm">Genesis 27:33</a> the King James Version). But "thou hast been careful for us all this care" ("showed us all this reverence," the Revised Version, margin, the American Revised Version, margin, <a href="/2_kings/4-13.htm">2 Kings 4:13</a>). In the New Testament, "care," in the sense of anxiety, is the meaning given to merimna, the condition of being drawn mentally in different directions, distraction of mind. "Care of the world" (<a href="/matthew/13-22.htm">Matthew 13:22</a> <a href="/mark/4-19.htm">Mark 4:19</a> <a href="/luke/8-14.htm">Luke 8:14</a>, "cares of this life," <a href="/luke/21-34.htm">Luke 21:34</a>); "care of all the churches" (<a href="/2_corinthians/11-28.htm">2 Corinthians 11:28</a>) ("anxiety," the Revised Version (British and American) and the American Standard Revised Version); "casting all your care upon him" ("anxiety," the Revised Version (British and American), the American Standard Revised Version, <a href="/1_peter/5-7.htm">1 Peter 5:7</a>). Also in the Apocrypha, "My heart faileth for care" (1 Maccabees 6:10); "Care bringeth old age before the time" (Sirach 30:24). To these may be added the adjective amerimnos, "I would have you without carefulness" (King James Version; "free from cares," the Revised Version (British and American) and the American Standard Revised Version, <a href="/1_corinthians/7-32.htm">1 Corinthians 7:32</a>).<br><br>2. Verbs:<br><br>In the Old Testament (da'agh, "to have concern or anxiety for"). "Not be careful in the year of drought" (<a href="/jeremiah/17-8.htm">Jeremiah 17:8</a>). (sum lebh, "to set the heart upon"), "If we flee away, they will not care for us" ("set their heart upon us" King James Version, margin, <a href="/2_samuel/18-3.htm">2 Samuel 18:3</a>).<br><br>In the New Testament (memrinao), "Thou art careful and troubled" ("anxious" the Revised Version (British and American) and the American Standard Revised Version, <a href="/luke/10-41.htm">Luke 10:41</a>). "He that is unmarried careth for things that belong to the Lord" ("is careful for," the Revised Version (British and American) and the American Standard Revised Version, <a href="/1_corinthians/7-32.htm">1 Corinthians 7:32-34</a>). "Members should have the same care one for another" (<a href="/1_corinthians/12-25.htm">1 Corinthians 12:25</a>). "Who will naturally care (the American Standard Revised Version "care truly") for your state" (<a href="/philippians/2-20.htm">Philippians 2:20</a>). "Be careful for nothing" ("in nothing be anxious," the Revised Version (British and American) and the American Standard Revised Version, <a href="/philippians/4-6.htm">Philippians 4:6</a>). The Apocrypha has "careful" (Baruch 3:18) and the Revised Version (British and American) has "be not careful overmuch," where a distinction is plainly made between care in the sense of anxiety and of attention, for a person cannot be too attentive, but he may be too anxious (2 Esdras 2:27).<br><br>The impersonal verb (melei), though not quite so strong as merimnao, always implies a degree of concern higher than is felt in mere attention. "Carest thou not that we perish?" (<a href="/mark/4-38.htm">Mark 4:38</a>). "Carest not for anyone" (the King James Version "no man," <a href="/matthew/22-16.htm">Matthew 22:16</a> <a href="/mark/12-14.htm">Mark 12:14</a>). "Dost thou not care that my sister did leave me to serve alone?" (<a href="/luke/10-40.htm">Luke 10:40</a>). "Careth not for the sheep" (<a href="/john/10-13.htm">John 10:13</a>). "Cared for the poor" (<a href="/john/12-6.htm">John 12:6</a>). "Gallio cared for none of these things" (<a href="/acts/18-17.htm">Acts 18:17</a>). "Care not for it" (<a href="/1_corinthians/7-21.htm">1 Corinthians 7:21</a>). "He careth for you" (<a href="/1_peter/5-7.htm">1 Peter 5:7</a>). "Doth God care for oxen?" (better, "Is it for the oxen that God careth?" the Revised Version (British and American) and the American Standard Revised Version, <a href="/1_corinthians/9-9.htm">1 Corinthians 9:9</a>).<br><br> II. In the Sense of Attention.<br><br>1. Substantives:<br><br>In the sense of attention, with the flavor of earnestness added from the original Teutonic meaning of the word care, we have the translation of spoude, "speed," "earnest care." "What carefulness it wrought in you" ("earnest care," the Revised Version (British and American), the American Standard Revised Version, <a href="/2_corinthians/7-11.htm">2 Corinthians 7:11</a>). "Our care for you in the sight of God" ("earnest care," the Revised Version (British and American), the American Standard Revised Version, <a href="/2_corinthians/7-12.htm">2 Corinthians 7:12</a>). "Put the same care into the heart of Titus" ("earnest care," the Revised Version (British and American), the American Standard Revised Version, <a href="/2_corinthians/8-16.htm">2 Corinthians 8:16</a>). We have also phronein, the infin. used as a substantive "Your care for me hath flourished" ("thought," the Revised Version (British and American), the American Standard Revised Version, <a href="/philippians/4-10.htm">Philippians 4:10</a>). Also phrontis, "thought" ("care" the American Standard Revised Version, The Wisdom of Solomon 6:17; 7:4).<br><br>2. Verbs:<br><br>"A land which Yahweh thy God careth for" darash, "seek after" ("seeketh after," the Revised Version, margin, the American Revised Version, margin, <a href="/deuteronomy/11-12.htm">Deuteronomy 11:12</a>). "No man careth for my soul" ("sought" King James Versions margin, <a href="/psalm/142-4.htm">Psalm 142:4</a>; chashach). "We are not careful to answer" (King James Version, also compare the margin, the American Revised Version, margin; "We have no need to answer," the Revised Version (British and American), the American Standard Revised Version, <a href="/daniel/3-16.htm">Daniel 3:16</a>). In the New Testament epimeleomai, "Take care of him" (<a href="/luke/10-34.htm">Luke 10:34, 35</a>). "How shall he take care of the church of God?" (<a href="/1_timothy/3-5.htm">1 Timothy 3:5</a>). phrontizo, "to be thoughtful or mindful of," "may be careful to maintain good works" (<a href="/1_timothy/3-8.htm">1 Timothy 3:8</a>).<br><br>G. H.
