Luke 12:13-33

13And a person said to him out of the crowd, Teacher, speak to my brother to divide the inheritance with me.

14But he said to him, Man, who established me [as] a judge or a divider over you?

15And he said to them, Take heed and keep yourselves from all covetousness, for [it is] not because a man is in abundance [that] his life is in his possessions.

16And he spoke a parable to them, saying, The land of a certain rich man brought forth abundantly.

17And he reasoned within himself saying, What shall I do? for I have not [a place] where I shall lay up my fruits.

18And he said, This will I do: I will take away my granaries and build greater, and there I will lay up all my produce and my good things;

19and I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much good things laid by for many years; repose thyself, eat, drink, be merry.

20But 1God said to him, Fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee; and whose shall be what thou hast prepared?

21Thus is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward 2God.

22And he said to his disciples, For this cause I say unto you, Be not careful for life, what ye shall eat, nor for the body, what ye shall put on.

23The life is more than food, and the body than raiment.

24Consider the ravens, that they sow not nor reap; which have neither storehouse nor granary; and 3God feeds them. How much better are ye than the birds?

25But which of you by being careful can add to his stature one cubit?

26If therefore ye cannot [do] even what is least, why are ye careful about the rest?

27Consider the lilies how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; but I say unto you, Not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed as one of these.

28But if 4God thus clothe the grass, which to-day is in the field and to-morrow is cast into [the] oven, how much rather you, O ye of little faith?

29And ye, seek not what ye shall eat or what ye shall drink, and be not in anxiety;

30for all these things do the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that ye have need of these things;

31but seek his kingdom, and [all] these things shall be added to you.

32Fear not, little flock, for it has been the good pleasure of your Father to give you the kingdom.

33Sell what ye possess and give alms; make to yourselves purses which do not grow old, a treasure which does not fail in the heavens, where thief does not draw near nor moth destroy.
