Luke 12:6-19
-
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
-
7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
-
8 Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
-
9 But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
-
10 And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.
-
11 And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:
-
12 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.
-
13 And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
-
14 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
-
15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
-
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.
