== Add an hour to your life, or a cubit to your height? ==
One of the biggest differences in translation, even modern conservative translations, concerns Luke 12:25:
{| class="wikitable"
|Holman||Can any of you add a cubit to his height by worrying?
|-
|NIV||Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
|-
|NKJV||And which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
|-
|ESV||And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?
