Revised Version 1895
Luke 12:12-31
12forG1063 theG3588 HolyG40 SpiritG4151 shall teachG1321 youG5210 inG1722 thatG3739 veryG846 hourG5610 whatG3739 ye oughtG1163 toG3004 sayG3004.
13AndG1161 oneG5100 outG1537 ofG1537 theG3588 multitudeG3793 saidG3004 unto himG846, Master, bid myG3326 brotherG80 divideG3307 theG3588 inheritanceG2817 withG3326 meG3004.
14ButG1161 heG846 saidG3004 unto himG846, ManG444, whoG3588 madeG2525 meG3004 a judgeG2923 orG2228 a divider overG1909 youG5210?
15AndG2532 heG2532 saidG3004 unto themG846, Take heed, andG2532 keepG5442 yourselvesG1438 fromG575 allG3956 covetousnessG4124: forG3754 aG1510 man’sG5100 lifeG2222 consisteth notG3756 inG1722 theG3956 abundanceG4052 ofG1537 theG3956 thingsG3956 whichG3748 heG2532 possesseth.
16AndG1161 heG846 spake a parableG3850 unto themG846, sayingG3004, TheG3588 ground ofG5100 a certainG5100 richG4145 manG444 brought forth plentifully:
17andG2532 heG2532 reasonedG1260 withinG1722 himselfG1438, sayingG3004, WhatG5101 shallG2532 IG1473 doG4160, becauseG3754 IG1473 have notG3756 whereG4226 toG3004 bestow myG1722 fruitsG2590?
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.
