Luke 12:13-22

13SomeoneG5100 1in the crowdG3793 saidG3004 to Him, “TeacherG1320, tellG3004 my brotherG80 to divideG3307 the family inheritanceG2817 with me.” 14But He saidG3004 to him, “2ManG444, whoG5101 appointedG2525 Me a judgeG2923 orG2228 arbitratorG3312 overG1909 you?” 15ThenG2532 He saidG3004 to them, “3BewareG3708, and be on your guardG5442 againstG575 everyG3956 formG3956 of greedG4124; for not even whenG1722 oneG5100 hasG4052 an abundanceG4052 does his lifeG2222 consistG1510 of his possessionsG5225.” 16And He toldG3004 them a parableG3850, sayingG3004, “The landG5561 of a richG4145 manG444 was veryG2164 productiveG2164. 17And he began reasoningG1260 to himselfG1438, sayingG3004, ‘WhatG5101 shall I doG4160, sinceG3754 I haveG2192 noG3756 placeG4226 to storeG4863 my cropsG2590?’ 18ThenG2532 he saidG3004, ‘ThisG3778 is what I will doG4160: I will tearG2507 downG2507 my barnsG596 and buildG3618 largerG3173 onesG3173, and thereG1563 I will storeG4863 allG3956 my grainG4621 and my goodsG18. 19And I will sayG3004 to my soulG5590, “SoulG5590, 4you haveG2192 manyG4183 goodsG18 laidG2749 up for manyG4183 yearsG2094 to come; takeG373 your easeG373, eatG2068, drinkG4095 and be merryG2165.”’ 20But GodG2316 saidG3004 to him, ‘5You foolG878! ThisG3778 very nightG3571 67your soulG5590 is requiredG523 of you; and 8now whoG5101 will own whatG3739 you have preparedG2090?’ 21SoG3779 is the man who 9storesG2343 up treasureG2343 for himselfG848, and is not richG4147 towardG1519 GodG2316.”

22And He saidG3004 to His disciplesG3101, “10For thisG3778 reasonG1223 I sayG3004 to you, 11do not worryG3309 aboutG3588 your 12lifeG5590, as to whatG5101 you will eatG2068; norG3366 for your bodyG4983, as to whatG5101 you will putG1746 on.
