Luke:12:16-24
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 ?
