Luke 12:2-31

²For there is nothing covered that shall not be unveiled, and nothing secret that shall not be made known.

³Therefore whatever you have spoken in the dark shall be heard in the light, and what you have spoken in the ear behind closed doors shall be proclaimed on the housetops.

⁴“And I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have nothing further they can do.

⁵But I will show you whom you should fear: fear Him who after He kills, has authority to cast into hell; yes, I say to you, fear Him!

⁶“Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins? And not one of them is forgotten before God.

⁷But the very hairs of your head have all been numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

⁸“Also I say to you, whoever confesses Me before men, him the Son of Man also will confess before the angels of God.

⁹But he who denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.

¹⁰“And anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but to him who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven.

¹¹“Now whenever they bring you to the synagogues and rulers and authorities, do not worry about how or what you should answer, or what you should say.

¹²For the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you must say.”

¹³Then someone from the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”

¹⁴But He said to him, “Man, who appointed Me a judge or an arbitrator over you?”

¹⁵And He said to them, “Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”

¹⁶Then He told a parable to them, saying: “The field of a certain rich man produced well.

¹⁷And he reasoned within himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, because I have nowhere to gather my crops?’

¹⁸So he said, ‘I will do this: I will tear down my barns and I will build bigger ones, and there I will gather all my crops and my goods.

¹⁹And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid away for many years; relax; eat, drink, and be merry.” ’

²⁰But God said to him, ‘You fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have prepared?’

²¹“So is he who accumulates treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”

²²Then He said to His disciples, “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; nor about the body, what you will wear.

²³Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.

²⁴Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which have neither storeroom nor barn; and yet God feeds them. How much more are you worth than birds?

²⁵And which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?

²⁶Therefore if you cannot do a very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?

²⁷Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you, not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed like one of these.

²⁸But if God so clothes the grass, although it is in the field today, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, by how much rather will He clothe you, O you of little faith?

²⁹“And do not seek what you may eat or what you may drink, and do not be anxious.

³⁰For all these things the nations of the world seek after, but your Father knows that you need these things.

³¹But seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you.
