Well...we can't go the way JohnLove is going, because he is doing two wrong things simultaneously - he is making a law of the New Testament, AND he is not fitting together the verses that are at tension to the ones he favors.
But we also can't go the way of saying that it is impossible to walk sinless in Christ either, because we know that if we abide in Him, we do not sin. So rather than beginning our race of faith with the assumption that He sets the race before us WHILE simultaneously making it impossible, we should race to win!
So our laboring should be to keep abiding in Him! Because when we abide, we do not sin.
But whatever things are not of faith (abiding) and trust in Him are sin.
This includes worries and anxieties about temporal provision as well as worries and anxieties about spiritual provision.
