Luke 12:13-21

¹³And one of the companie said vnto him, Master, bidde my brother deuide the inheritance with me.

¹⁴And he said vnto him, Man, who made me a iudge, or a deuider ouer you?

¹⁵Wherefore he said vnto them, Take heede, and beware of couetousnesse: for though a man haue abundance, yet his life standeth not in his riches.

¹⁶And he put foorth a parable vnto them, saying, The grounde of a certaine riche man brought foorth fruites plenteously.

¹⁷Therefore he thought with himselfe, saying, What shall I doe, because I haue no roume, where I may lay vp my fruites?

¹⁸And he said, This wil I do, I wil pul downe my barnes, and builde greater, and therein will I gather all my fruites, and my goods.

¹⁹And I wil say to my soule, Soule, thou hast much goods laide vp for many yeeres: liue at ease, eate, drinke and take thy pastime.

²⁰But God said vnto him, O foole, this night wil they fetch away thy soule from thee: then whose shall those things be which thou hast prouided?

²¹So is he that gathereth riches to himselfe, and is not riche in God.
