17 And he thought within himself, and said, What shall I do, for I have not whither I shall gather my fruits? (And he thought to himself, and said, What shall I do, for I have no place where I can store all my crops?)
18 And he saith, This thing I shall do; I shall throw down my barns, and I shall make greater (ones), and thither I shall gather all (the) things that grow to me (or and there I shall gather together all the things that grow for me), and (all) my goods.
19 And I shall say to my soul, Soul, thou hast many goods kept into full many years; rest thou, eat, drink, and make feast.
20 And God said to him, Fool, in this night they shall take (away) thy life from thee, or Fool, in this night they shall ask of thee thy soul. And (then) whose shall those things be, that thou hast arrayed?
21 So is he that treasureth to himself, and is not rich in God.
22 And he said to his disciples, Therefore I say to you, do not ye be busy to your life (or do not be concerned about your life), what ye shall eat, neither to your body, with what ye shall be clothed.
23 The life is more than meat (or Life is more than food), and the body more than clothing.
24 Behold the crows, for they sow not, neither reap, to which is neither cellar, nor barn, and God feedeth them. How much more ye be of more price than they, or How much more be ye of more price than they, (or How much more valuable ye be than them).
25 And who of you by thinking may put or may add one cubit to his stature?
26 Therefore if ye may not do that that is (the) least, what be ye busy of other things? (And so if ye cannot do anything about that which is so little, why be concerned about the other things?)
27 Behold ye the lilies of the field, how they wax; they travail not, neither spin, (or Look at the lilies of the field, how they grow; they do not labour, nor spin). And I say to you, that neither Solomon in all his glory was clothed as one of these.
28 And if God clotheth thus the hay, that today is in the field, and tomorrow is cast into an oven; how much more you of little faith.
29 And do not ye seek, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; and do not ye be raised (up) on high.
30 For folks of the world seek all these things; and your Father knoweth, that ye have need to all these things. (For the peoples of the world seek all these things; and your Father knoweth, that ye have need of all these things.)
31 Nevertheless seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be cast to you (or and all these things shall be given to thee).
32 Do not ye, little flock, dread, for it pleased to your Father to give you a kingdom. (Do not, little flock, have fear, for it pleased your Father to give you the Kingdom.)
33 Sell ye those things that ye have in possession or that ye wield, and give ye alms. And make to you satchels that wax not old, treasure that faileth not in heavens, whither a thief nigheth not, neither moth destroyeth. (Sell those things that ye possess, and give what you receive to charity. And make for yourselves totes or bags, that do not grow old, treasure that faileth not in heaven, where a thief approacheth not, nor a moth destroyeth.)
34 For where is thy treasure, there thine heart shall be. Forsooth where thy treasure is, there also thine heart shall be.
35 Be your loins girded above, and lanterns burning in your hands;
