15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness:
for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the
things which he possesseth.
16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of
a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do,
because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns,
and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits
and my goods.
19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods
laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink,
and be merry.
20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy
soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall
those things
be, which thou hast provided?
21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself,
and is not rich toward God.
22 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I
say unto you, Take no thought for your life,
what ye
shall eat;
neither
for the body, what ye shall put on.
