But seek first The phrase "But seek first" emphasizes the priority and intentionality required in the life of a believer. The Greek word for "seek" is "ζητέω" (zēteō), which implies a continuous, active pursuit. This is not a passive or occasional action but a deliberate and ongoing effort. In the historical context of Jesus' time, seeking was often associated with a diligent search, akin to a merchant seeking fine pearls (Matthew 13:45-46). The word "first" underscores the importance of placing this pursuit above all other concerns and desires, aligning with the biblical principle of prioritizing God above worldly matters.
