Luke 12:13-22

13And oneG5100 out of the multitudeG3793 saidG3004 unto him, TeacherG1320, bid my brotherG80 divide the inheritanceG2817 with me. 14But he saidG3004 unto him, ManG444, who made me a judgeG2923 or a divider over you? 15And he saidG3004 unto them, Take heed, and keepG5442 yourselves from all covetousnessG4124: for a man’s lifeG2222 consisteth not in the abundanceG4052 of the thingsG3956 which he possesseth. 16And he spake a parableG3850 unto them, sayingG3004, The ground of a certainG5100 richG4145 manG444 brought forth plentifully: 17and he reasonedG1260 within himself, sayingG3004, What shall I do, because I have not whereG4226 to bestow my fruitsG2590? 18And he saidG3004, This will I do: I will pull down my barnsG596, and buildG3618 greaterG3173; and there will I bestow all my grain and my goodsG18. 19And I will sayG3004 to my soulG5590, SoulG5590, thou hast muchG4183 goodsG18 laid up for manyG4183 yearsG2094; take thine ease, eatG2068, drinkG4095, be merryG2165. 20But GodG2316 saidG3004 unto him, Thou foolishG878 oneG3739, this nightG3571 isG1510 thy soulG5590 required of thee; and the thingsG3778 which thou hast preparedG2090, whose shall they beG1510? 21So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not richG4147 toward GodG2316.

22And he saidG3004 unto his disciplesG3101, Therefore I sayG3004 unto you, Be not anxiousG3309 for your lifeG5590, what ye shall eatG2068; nor yet for your bodyG4983, what ye shall putG1746 on.
