Luke 12:16-34

16AndG1161 he spakeG3004 a parableG3850 untoG4314 themG846, sayingG3004, The groundG3588G5561 of a certainG5100 richG4145 manG444 brought forth plentifullyG2164: 17AndG2532 he thoughtG1260 withinG1722 himselfG1438, sayingG3004, WhatG5101 shall I doG4160, becauseG3754 I haveG2192 noG3756 room whereG4226 to bestowG4863 myG1473 fruitsG3588G2590? 18AndG2532 he saidG3004, ThisG3778 will I doG4160: I will pull downG2507 myG1473 barnsG3588G596, andG2532 buildG3618 greaterG3173; andG2532 thereG1563 will I bestowG4863 allG3956 myG1473 fruitsG3588G1081 andG2532 myG1473 goodsG18. 19AndG2532 I will sayG2046 toG3588G5590 myG1473 soulG3588G5590, SoulG5590, thou hastG2192 muchG4183 goodsG18 laid upG2749 forG1519 manyG4183 yearsG2094; take thine easeG373, eatG5315, drinkG4095, and be merryG2165. 20ButG1161 GodG3588G2316 saidG3004 unto himG846, Thou foolG878, thisG3778 nightG3588G3571 thyG4771 soulG3588G5590 shall be requiredG523 ofG575 theeG4771: thenG1161 whoseG5101 shallG1510 those thingsG3739 beG1510, whichG3739 thou hast providedG2090? 21SoG3779 is he that layeth up treasureG2343 for himselfG1438, andG2532 isG4147 notG3361 richG4147 towardG1519 GodG2316.

22AndG1161 he saidG3004 untoG4314 hisG846 disciplesG3588G3101, ThereforeG1223 I sayG3004 unto youG4771, TakeG3309 noG3361 thoughtG3309 forG3588G5590 yourG4771 lifeG3588G5590, whatG5101 ye shall eatG5315; neitherG3366 for the bodyG3588G4983, whatG5101 ye shall put onG1746. 23The lifeG3588G5590 isG1510 moreG4119 than meatG3588G5160, andG2532 the bodyG3588G4983 is more than raimentG3588G1742. 24ConsiderG2657 the ravensG3588G2876: forG3754 theyG4687 neitherG3756 sowG4687 norG3761 reapG2325; whichG3739 neitherG3756 haveG1510 storehouseG5009 norG3761 barnG596; andG2532 GodG3588G2316 feedethG5142 themG846: how muchG4214 moreG3123 areG1308 yeG4771 betterG1308 than the fowlsG3588G4071? 25AndG1161 whichG5101 ofG1537 youG4771 with taking thoughtG3309 canG1410 addG4369 toG1909 hisG846 statureG3588G2244 oneG1520 cubitG4083? 26IfG1487 yeG1410 thenG3767 be notG3777 able to doG1410 that thing which is leastG1646, whyG5101 take ye thoughtG3309 forG4012 the restG3062? 27ConsiderG2657 the liliesG3588G2918 howG4459 they growG837: they toilG2872 notG3756, they spinG3514 notG3761; and yetG1161 I sayG3004 unto youG4771, thatG3004 SolomonG4672 inG1722 allG3956 hisG846 gloryG3588G1391 wasG4016 notG3761 arrayedG4016 likeG5613 oneG1520 of theseG3778. 28IfG1487 thenG1161 GodG3588G2316 soG3779 clotheG294 the grassG3588G5528, which isG1510 to dayG4594 inG1722 the fieldG3588G68, andG2532 to morrowG839 is castG906 intoG1519 the ovenG2823; how muchG4214 moreG3123 will he clothe youG4771, O ye of little faithG3640? 29AndG2532 seekG2212 notG3361 yeG4771 whatG5101 ye shall eatG5315, orG2228 whatG5101 ye shall drinkG4095, neitherG3361 be ye of doubtful mindG3349. 30ForG1063 allG3956 these thingsG3778 doG1934 the nationsG3588G1484 of the worldG3588G2889 seek afterG1934: andG1161 yourG4771 FatherG3588G3962 knowethG1492 thatG3754 ye have needG5535 of these thingsG3778.

31But ratherG4133 seek yeG2212 the kingdomG3588G932 of GodG3588G2316; andG2532 allG3956 these thingsG3778 shall be addedG4369 unto youG4771. 32FearG5399 notG3361, littleG3398 flockG4168; forG3754 it isG2106 yourG4771 Father’sG3588G3962 good pleasureG2106 to giveG1325 youG4771 the kingdomG3588G932. 33SellG4453 thatG5225 yeG4771 haveG5225, andG2532 giveG1325 almsG1654; provideG4160 yourselvesG1438 bagsG905 which waxG3822 notG3361 oldG3822, a treasureG2344 inG1722 the heavensG3588G3772 that faileth notG413, whereG3699 noG3756 thiefG2812 approachethG1448, neitherG3761 mothG4597 corruptethG1311. 34ForG1063 whereG3699 yourG4771 treasureG3588G2344 isG1510, thereG1563 willG1510 yourG4771 heartG3588G2588 beG1510 alsoG2532.
