Luke 12:15-21

Rotherham(i) 15 And he said unto them––Mind and be guarding yourselves from all covetousness; for not, in one’s abundance, doth his life spring out of his possessions. 16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying––A certain rich man’s estate, bare well. 17 And he began to deliberate within himself, saying––What shall I do? because I have not where I can gather my fruits. 18 And he said––This, will I do,––I will pull down my barns, and, greater ones, build, and gather, there, all my wheat and good things; 19 and will say to my soul––Soul! thou hast many good things [lying by for many years: be taking thy rest, eat, drink,] be making merry! 20 But God said unto him––Simple one! on this very night, they are asking, thy soul, from thee; The things, then, which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be? 21 [So, is he that is laying up treasure for himself, and is not rich, towards God.]
