13 And one τις tis G5100 out of the multitude G3793 said G3004 unto him , Teacher διδάσκαλε, didaskale G1320 , bid my brother ἀδελφῷ adelphō G80 divide the inheritance κληρονομίαν. klēronomian G2817 with me . 14 But he said G3004 unto him , Man ἄνθρωπε, anthrōpe G444 , who made me a judge κριτὴν kritēn G2923 or a divider over you ? 15 And he said G3004 unto them , Take heed, and keep φυλάσσεσθε phulassesthe G5442 yourselves from all covetousness πλεονεξίας, pleonexias G4124 : for a man’s life ζωὴ zōē G2222 consisteth not in the abundance G4052 of the things G3956 which he possesseth. 16 And he spake a parable παραβολὴν parabolēn G3850 unto them , saying λέγων· legōn G3004 , The ground of a certain τινὸς tinos G5100 rich πλουσίου plousiou G4145 man ἀνθρώπου anthrōpou G444 brought forth plentifully: 17 and he reasoned διελογίζετο dielogizeto G1260 within himself , saying λέγων· legōn G3004 , What shall I do , because I have not where ποῦ pou G4226 to bestow my fruits καρπούς karpous G2590 ? 18 And he said G3004 , This will I do : I will pull down my barns ἀποθήκας apothēkas G596 , and build οἰκοδομήσω oikodomēsō G3618 greater G3173 ; and there will I bestow all my grain and my goods G18 . 21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself , and is not rich πλουτῶν. ploutōn G4147 toward God θεὸν theon G2316 . 22 And he said λέγω legō G3004 unto his disciples G3101 , Therefore I say G3004 unto you , Be not anxious μεριμνᾶτε merimnate G3309 for your life ψυχῇ psuchēa G5590 , what ye shall eat G2068 ; nor yet for your body σώματι sōmati G4983 , what ye shall put ἐνδύσησθε. endusēsthe G1746 on . 24 Consider κατανοήσατε katanoēsate G2657 the ravens , that they sow σπείρουσιν speirousin G4687 not , neither reap θερίζουσιν therizousin G2325 ; which have no store-chamber nor barn ἀποθήκη, apothēkē G596 ; and God θεὸς theos G2316 feedeth them : of how πόσῳ posō G4214 much G4214 more μᾶλλον mallon G3123 value are G1510 ye than the birds πετεινῶν; peteinōn G4071 ! 25 And which of you by being anxious μεριμνῶν merimnōn G3309 can add προσθεῖναι prostheinai G4369 a cubit unto the measure of his life ? 27 Consider κατανοήσατε katanoēsate G2657 the lilies κρίνα krina G2918 , how πῶς pōs G4459 they grow αὐξάνει· auxanei G837 : they toil G2872 not , neither do they spin νήθει. nēthei G3514 ; yet I say λέγω legō G3004 unto you , Even G3761 Solomon Σολομὼν Solomōn G4672 in all his glory δόξῃ doxē G1391 was not arrayed like one ἓν hen G1520 of these . 28 But if God θεὸς theos G2316 doth so clothe the grass χόρτον chorton G5528 in the field ἀγρῷ agrō G68 , which to-day is G1510 , and to-morrow is G1510 cast G906 into the oven; how πόσῳ posō G4214 much G4214 more μᾶλλον mallon G3123 shall he clothe you , O ye of little faith? 29 And seek ζητεῖτε zēteite G2212 not ye what ye shall eat G2068 , and what ye shall drink πίητε, piēte G4095 , neither be ye of doubtful mind . 30 For all these things G3778 do the nations ἔθνη ethnē G1484 of the world κόσμου kosmou G2889 seek ἐπιζητοῦσιν· epizētousin G1934 after : but your Father πατὴρ patēr G3962 knoweth that ye have need χρῄζετε chrēzete G5535 of these things G3778 . 31 Yet seek ζητεῖτε zēteite G2212 ye his kingdom βασιλείαν basileian G932 , and these things ταῦτα tauta G3778 shall be added προστεθήσεται prostethēsetai G4369 unto you . 32 Fear φοβοῦ, phobou G5399 not , little μικρὸν mikron G3398 flock ποίμνιον, poimnion G4168 ; for it is your Father’s good pleasure G2106 to give δοῦναι dounai G1325 you the kingdom βασιλείαν. basileian G932 . 33 Sell πωλήσατε pōlēsate G4453 that which ye have , and give δότε dote G1325 alms ἐλεημοσύνην· eleēmosunēn G1654 ; make ποιήσατε poiēsate G4160 for yourselves purses which wax not old παλαιούμενα, palaioumena G3822 , a treasure θησαυρὸν thēsauron G2344 in the heavens οὐρανοῖς ouranois G3772 that faileth not , where ὅπου hopou G3699 no thief κλέπτης kleptēs G2812 draweth near , neither moth σὴς sēs G4597 destroyeth.
