Luke 12:12-22

12 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say .
13 And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
14 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
15 And he said unto 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 spake a parable unto 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 bestow my fruits?
18 And he said , This will I do : I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease , eat , drink , and be merry .
20 But God said unto 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 toward God.
22 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat ; neither for the body, what ye shall put on .
