* And he said (5627 ) unto them , Take heed (5720 ), and beware (5732 ) of covetousness : for a mans life consisteth (5748 ) not in the abundance (5721 ) of the things which he possesseth (5723 ). * And he spake (5627 ) a parable unto them , saying (5723 ), The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully (5656 ): * And he thought (5711 ) within himself , saying (5723 ), What shall I do (5661 ), because I have (5719 ) no room where to bestow (5692 ) my fruits ? * And he said (5627 ), This will I do (5692 ): I will pull down (5692 ) my barns , and build (5692 ) greater ; and there will I bestow (5692 ) all my fruits and my goods . * And I will say (5692 ) to my soul , Soul , thou hast (5719 ) much goods laid up (5740 ) for many years ; take thine ease (5732 ), eat (5628 ), drink (5628 ), and be merry (5744 ). * But God said (5627 ) unto him , Thou fool , this night thy soul shall be required (5719 ) of thee : then whose shall those things be (5704 ), which thou hast provided (5656 )? * So is he that layeth up treasure (5723 ) for himself , and is not rich (5723 ) toward God . * And he said (5627 ) unto his disciples , Therefore I say (5719 ) unto you , Take no thought (5720 ) for your life , what ye shall eat (5632 ); neither for the body , what ye shall put on (5672 ). * The life is (5748 ) more than meat , and the body is more than raiment . * Consider (5657 ) the ravens : for they neither sow (5719 ) nor reap (5719 ); which neither have (5748 ) storehouse nor barn ; and God feedeth (5719 ) them : how much more are ye better than (5719 ) the fowls ? * And which of you with taking thought (5723 ) can (5736 ) add (5629 ) to his stature one cubit ? * If ye then be not able to do (5736 ) that thing which is least , why take ye thought (5719 ) for the rest ? * Consider (5657 ) the lilies how they grow (5719 ): they toil (5719 ) not , they spin (5719 ) not ; and yet I say (5719 ) unto you , that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed (5639 ) like one of these . * If then God so clothe (5719 ) the grass , which (5752 ) is to day in the field , and to morrow is cast (5746 ) into the oven ; how much more will he clothe you , O ye of little faith ? * And seek (5720 ) not ye what ye shall eat (5632 ), or what ye shall drink (5632 ), neither be ye of doubtful mind (5744 ). * For all these things do the nations of the world seek after (5719 ): and your Father knoweth (5758 ) that ye have need (5719 ) of these things . * But rather seek ye (5720 ) the kingdom of God ; and all these things shall be added (5701 ) unto you .
