Luke 12:14-24

14 But he said, Man, who made me a judge or a maker of decisions for you?

15 And he said to them, Take care to keep yourselves free from the desire for property; for a man's life is not made up of the number of things which he has.

16 And he said to them, in a story, The land of a certain man of great wealth was very fertile:

17 And he said to himself, What is to be done? for I have no place in which to put all my fruit.

18 And he said, This I will do: I will take down my store-houses and make greater ones, and there I will put all my grain and my goods.

19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have a great amount of goods in store, enough for a number of years; be at rest, take food and wine and be happy.

20 But God said to him, You foolish one, tonight I will take your soul from you, and who then will be the owner of all the things which you have got together?

21 So that is what comes to the man who gets wealth for himself, and has not wealth in the eyes of God.

22 And he said to his disciples, For this reason I say to you, Take no thought for your life, about what food you will take, or for your body, how it may be clothed.

23 Is not life more than food, and the body than its clothing?

24 Give thought to the ravens; they do not put seeds into the earth, or get together grain; they have no store-houses or buildings; and God gives them their food: of how much greater value are you than the birds!
