13
And one of the company said to him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
14
And he said to him, Man, who made me a judge, or a divider over you?
15
And 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.
16
And he spoke a parable to them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
17
And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to deposit my fruits?
18
And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I deposit all my fruits and my goods.
19
And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast abundance of goods laid up for many years; take thy ease, eat, drink, [and] be merry.
20
But 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?
21
So [is] he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich towards God.
22
And 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.
23
The life is more than food, and the body [is more] than raiment.
