Luke 12:15-21

Riverside(i) 15 He said to them, "See to it and be on your guard against every form of covetousness, for not even when one has a superabundance is his life from the things he owns." 16 He gave them an illustration, saying, "The ground of a certain rich man yielded abundantly. 17 He debated within himself, saying, 'What shall I do? for I have no place to store my crops.' 18 Then he said, 'I will do this: I will pull down my barns and will build larger ones, and there I will store all my wheat and my goods; 19 and I will say to my soul, Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years, take your ease, eat, drink, be merry!' 20 But God said to him, 'Foolish man, this night your soul will be required of you; and the things that you have prepared — whose will they be?' 21 So is he who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God."
