Luke 12:13-22

13And one of the company said to him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me. 14And he said to him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you? 15And he said to them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. 16And he spoke a parable to them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: 17And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no place where to store my fruits? 18And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I store all my fruits and my goods. 19And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast many goods laid up for many years; take thy ease, eat, drink, and be merry. 20But God said to him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?1 21So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

22And he said to his disciples, Therefore I say to you, Be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.
