18AndG2532 heG2532 saidG3004, ThisG3778 willG3778 IG1473 doG4160: IG1473 willG3778 pull downG2507 myG3956 barnsG596, andG2532 buildG3618 greaterG3173; andG2532 thereG1563 willG3778 IG1473 bestow allG3956 myG3956 corn andG2532 myG3956 goodsG18. 19AndG2532 IG1473 willG4183 sayG3004 toG1519 myG4095 soulG5590, SoulG5590, thou hast muchG4183 goodsG18 laidG2749 upG1519 forG1519 manyG4183 yearsG2094; takeG373 thine easeG373, eatG2068, drinkG4095, beG2532 merryG2165. 20ButG1161 GodG2316 saidG3004 unto himG846, Thou foolishG878 oneG3739, thisG3778 nightG3571 isG1510 thy soulG5590 requiredG523 ofG575 thee; andG1161 theG3588 thingsG3778 whichG3739 thou hast preparedG2090, whoseG3739 shallG3778 theyG846 beG1510? 21SoG2532 is heG2532 thatG846 layeth upG1519 treasureG2343 forG1519 himselfG1438, andG2532 is notG3361 richG4147 towardG1519 GodG2316. 22AndG1161 heG846 saidG3004 unto hisG846 disciplesG3101, ThereforeG1223 IG3778 sayG3004 unto youG5210, BeG3366 notG3361 anxiousG3309 forG1223 yourG1223 lifeG5590, whatG5101 ye shallG3778 eatG2068; norG3366 yetG1161 forG1223 yourG1223 bodyG4983, whatG5101 ye shallG3778 putG1746 onG1161. 23ForG1063 theG3588 lifeG5590 isG1510 moreG4183 thanG4183 theG3588 foodG5160, andG2532 theG3588 bodyG4983 thanG4183 theG3588 raiment. 24ConsiderG2657 theG3588 ravensG2876, thatG3754 theyG846 sowG4687 notG3756, neitherG3777 reapG2325; whichG3739 haveG1510 noG3756 store-chamber norG3761 barnG596; andG2532 GodG2316 feedeth themG846: ofG2316 howG4214 muchG4214 moreG3123 value areG1510 ye thanG2532 theG3588 birdsG4071! 25AndG1161 whichG5101 ofG1537 youG5210 byG1537 beingG4771 anxiousG3309 canG1410 addG4369 a cubit unto hisG846 statureG2244? 26IfG1487 thenG3767 ye are notG3761 ableG1410 toG1410 doG1410 evenG3761 thatG3767 whichG5101 is leastG1646, whyG5101 are ye anxiousG3309 concerningG4012 theG3588 restG3062? 27ConsiderG2657 theG3956 liliesG2918, howG4459 theyG846 growG837: theyG846 toilG2872 notG3761, neitherG3777 doG3004 theyG846 spinG3514; yetG1161 IG3778 sayG3004 unto youG5210, EvenG3761 SolomonG4672 inG1722 allG3956 hisG846 gloryG1391 was notG3761 arrayed likeG5613 oneG1520 ofG1391 theseG3778. 28ButG1161 ifG1487 GodG2316 doth soG2532 clothe theG3588 grassG5528 inG1722 theG3588 fieldG68, whichG3588 todayG4594 isG1510, andG2532 tomorrowG839 isG1510 castG906 intoG1519 theG3588 oven; howG4214 muchG4214 moreG3123 shallG2532 heG2532 clothe youG5210, O ye ofG2316 little faith? 29AndG2532 seekG2212 notG3361 ye whatG5101 ye shallG2532 eatG2068, andG2532 whatG5101 ye shallG2532 drinkG4095, neitherG2532 beG2532 ye ofG2532 doubtful mindG2532. 30ForG1063 allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778 doG1492 theG3956 nationsG1484 ofG3962 theG3956 worldG2889 seekG1934 afterG1161: butG1161 yourG3956 FatherG3962 knoweth thatG3754 ye have needG5535 ofG3962 theseG3778 thingsG3778. 31Howbeit seekG2212 ye hisG846 kingdomG932, andG2532 theseG3778 thingsG3778 shallG3778 beG2532 addedG4369 unto youG5210. 32FearG5399 notG3361, littleG3398 flockG4168; forG3754 itG2106 is yourG1325 Father’sG3962 goodG2106 pleasureG2106 toG1325 giveG1325 youG5210 theG3588 kingdomG932. 33SellG4453 thatG1438 ye have, andG2532 giveG1325 almsG1654; makeG4160 forG1722 yourselvesG1438 purses whichG3699 wax notG3756 oldG3822, a treasureG2344 inG1722 theG3588 heavensG3772 thatG1438 faileth notG3756, whereG3699 noG3756 thiefG2812 draweth nearG1448, neitherG3756 mothG4597 destroyeth. 34ForG1063 whereG3699 yourG2532 treasureG2344 isG1510, thereG1563 willG1510 yourG2532 heartG2588 beG1510 alsoG2532. 35LetG1510 yourG2532 loinsG3751 beG1510 girdedG4024 aboutG3588, andG2532 yourG2532 lampsG3088 burningG2545; 36andG2532 beG2532 ye yourselvesG1438 likeG3664 unto menG444 lookingG4327 forG2443 theirG846 lordG2962, whenG2532 heG2532 shallG444 return fromG1537 theG3588 marriageG1062 feastG1062; thatG2443, whenG2532 heG2532 cometh andG2532 knocketh, theyG846 mayG2532 straightway openG455 unto himG846. 37BlessedG3107 are thoseG3588 servantsG1401, whomG3739 theG3588 lordG2962 whenG2532 heG2532 cometh shallG2532 findG2147 watchingG1127: verily IG3739 sayG3004 unto youG5210, thatG3754 heG2532 shallG2532 girdG4024 himselfG846, andG2532 makeG4024 themG846 sitG347 downG347 toG3004 meatG3588, andG2532 shallG2532 comeG2064 andG2532 serveG1247 themG846. 38AndG2532 ifG2579 heG2532 shallG2532 comeG2064 inG1722 theG3588 secondG1208 watchG5438, andG2532 ifG2579 inG1722 theG3588 thirdG5154, andG2532 findG2147 themG2147 soG2532, blessedG3107 areG1510 thoseG3588 servants. 39ButG1161 knowG1097 thisG3778, thatG3754 ifG1487 theG3588 master ofG3624 theG3588 houseG3624 had knownG1097 inG2064 whatG4169 hourG5610 theG3588 thiefG2812 was comingG2064, heG846 wouldG302 have watched, andG1161 notG3756 have leftG863 hisG846 houseG3624 toG2064 beG3778 brokenG1358 through. 40BeG1096 ye alsoG2532 readyG2092: forG3754 inG2532 anG1096 hourG5610 thatG3754 ye thinkG1380 notG3756 theG3588 SonG5207 ofG5207 manG444 cometh. 41AndG2532 PeterG4074 saidG3004, LordG2962, speakest thou thisG3778 parableG3850 unto usG3004, orG2228 evenG2532 unto allG3956?
