Matthew 6:27

Which of you can add one cubit, &c.

There can hardly be. doubt that this ought to be rendered, "add one cubit to his age," or period of life. We speak of life being. span, which is also. measure of length. The word rendered "stature" also means age, and that idea is more in harmony with the context. The idea is: "What is the use of anxiety? Who by his anxiety can add anything to life's journey?" "If it is proper to speak of " length of life," it is also appropriate to speak of adding. cubit to its length.
