Luke:12:13-21

*
And one of the company said to him ,
Master ,
speak to my brother ,
that he divide the inheritance with me .
*
And he said to him ,
Man ,
who made me a judge ,
or a divider over you ?
*
And he said to them ,
Take heed ,
and beware of covetousness :
for a man '
s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth .
*
And he spoke a parable to them ,
saying ,
The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully :
*
And he thought within himself ,
saying ,
What shall I do ,
because I have no room where to deposit my fruits ?
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 ?
*
So is he that layeth up treasure for himself ,
and is not rich towards God .
