Luke 12:13-22

13

SomeoneG5100 inG1537 theG3588 crowdG3793 saidG2036 to HimG846, “TeacherG1320, tellG2036G3588 myG1473 brotherG80 to divideG3307 theG3588 inheritanceG2817 withG3326 meG1473.”

14ButG1161 Jesus repliedG2036G846, “ManG444, whoG5101 appointedG2525 MeG1473 judgeG2923 orG2228 executorG3312 betweenG1909 youG4771?” 15AndG1161 He saidG2036 toG4314 themG846, “Watch outG3708! Guard yourselvesG5442 againstG575 everyG3956 form of greedG4124, forG3754 one’sG5100G846 lifeG2222 does not consistG3756G1510 inG1722 theG3588 abundanceG4052 ofG1537 hisG3588G846 possessionsG5225.”

16ThenG1161 He toldG2036G4314 themG846 a parableG3850: “TheG3588 groundG5561 of a certainG5100 richG4145 manG444 produced an abundanceG2164. 17SoG2532 he thoughtG1260 toG1722 himselfG1438, ‘WhatG5101 shall I doG4160, sinceG3754 I haveG2192 nowhereG3756G4226 to storeG4863 myG1473 cropsG2590?’ 18ThenG2532 he saidG2036, ‘ThisG3778 is what I will doG4160: I will tear downG2507 myG1473 barnsG596 andG2532 will buildG3618 biggerG3173 ones, andG2532 thereG1563 I will store upG4863 allG3956 myG1473 grainG4621 andG2532 my goodsG18. 19ThenG2532 I will sayG2046 toG3588 myselfG1473G5590, “YouG5590 haveG2192 plenty ofG4183 good thingsG18 laid upG2749 forG1519 manyG4183 yearsG2094. Take it easyG373. EatG5315, drinkG4095, and be merryG2165!”’

20ButG1161 GodG2316 saidG2036 to himG846, ‘You foolG878! ThisG3778 veryG3588 nightG3571 yourG4771 lifeG5590 will be requiredG523 ofG575 youG4771. ThenG1161 whoG5101 will ownG1510 whatG3739 you have accumulatedG2090?’

21This is howG3779 it will be for anyone whoG3588 stores up treasureG2343 for himselfG1438 butG2532 is not richG3361G4147 towardG1519 GodG2316.”

22ThenG1161 Jesus saidG2036 toG4314 HisG846 disciplesG3101, “ThereforeG1223G3778 I tellG3004 youG4771, do notG3361 worryG3309 aboutG3588 your lifeG5590, whatG5101 you will eatG5315, or aboutG3588 yourG4771 bodyG4983, whatG5101 you will wearG1746.
