Luke 12:13-22
13NowG1161 someoneG5100 1in the crowdG3793 saidG3004 to Him, “TeacherG1320, tellG3004 my brotherG80 to divideG3307 the family inheritanceG2817 with me.” 14But He saidG3004 to him, “23YouG444 thereG444--whoG5101 appointedG2525 Me a judgeG2923 orG2228 arbitratorG3312 overG1909 the two of you?” 15But He saidG3004 to them, “4BewareG3708, and be on your guardG5442 againstG575 everyG3956 formG3956 of greedG4124; for not even whenG1722 oneG5100 isG4052 affluentG4052 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 thinkingG1260 to himselfG1438, sayingG3004, ‘WhatG5101 shall I doG4160, sinceG3754 I haveG2192 noG3756 placeG4226 to storeG4863 my cropsG2590?’ 18And he saidG3004, ‘ThisG3778 is what I will doG4160: I will tearG2507 downG2507 my barnsG596 and buildG3618 largerG3173 onesG3173, and I will storeG4863 allG3956 my grainG4621 and my goodsG18 thereG1563. 19And I will sayG3004 to 5myselfG5590, “6You haveG2192 manyG4183 goodsG18 storedG2749 upG2749 for manyG4183 yearsG2094 to come; relaxG373, eatG2068, drinkG4095, and enjoyG2165 yourself!”’ 20But GodG2316 saidG3004 to him, ‘7You foolG878! ThisG3778 very nightG3571 89your soulG5590 is demandedG523 of you; and 10as for all that you have preparedG2090, whoG5101 will ownG1510 it now?’ 21SuchG3779 is the one who 11storesG2343 upG2343 treasureG2343 for himselfG848, and isG4147 not richG4147 inG1519 relationG1519 toG1519 GodG2316.”
22And He saidG3004 to His disciplesG3101, “12For thisG3778 reasonG1223 I tellG3004 you, 13do not worryG3309 aboutG3588 your 14lifeG5590, as to whatG5101 you are to eatG2068; norG3366 for your bodyG4983, as to whatG5101 you are to wearG1746.
