Luke 12:16-24
-
16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
-
17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
-
18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
-
19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
-
20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
-
21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
-
22 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.
-
23 The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.
-
24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?
