Luke 12:17-27

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.
24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap: which neither have store-house, nor barn; and God feedeth them: How much more are ye better than the fowls?
25 And which of you by solicitude can add to his stature one cubit?
26 If ye then are not able to do that thing which is least, why are ye anxious for the rest?
27 Consider the lilies how they grow: They toil not, they spin not; and yet I say to you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
