Luke 12:15-21

Living_Oracles(i) 15 And he said to them, Be upon your guard against covetousness; for in whatever affluence a man be, his life depends not on his possessions. 16 He also used this example, A certain rich man had lands which brought forth plentifully. 17 And he reasoned thus with himself, What shall I do? for I have not where to store my crop. 18 I will do this, added he; I will pull down my storehouses, and build larger, and there I will store all my produce, and my goods. 19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast plenty of goods laid up for many years; take thin ease, eat, drink, enjoy thyself. 20 But God said to him, Fool! this very night your soul is required of you. Whose, then, shall those things be, which you have provided? 21 So it fares with him who amasses treasure for himself, but is not rich toward God.
