Luke 12:2-31

²For nothing is covered, that shall not be showed; neither hid, that shall not be known.

³For why those things that ye have said in darknesses, shall be said in light; and that that ye have spoken in the ear in bedchambers, shall be preached in roofs.

⁴And I say to you, my friends, be ye not afeared of them that slay the body, and after these things have no more what they shall do.

⁵But I shall show to you, whom ye shall dread; dread ye him, that after he hath slain, hath power to send into hell. And so I say to you, dread ye him.

⁶Whether five sparrows be not sold for two halfpence or two farthings; and one of them is not in forgetting before God?

⁷But also all the hairs of your head be numbered. Therefore do not ye dread; ye be of more price, than many sparrows.

⁸Truly I say to you, each man that acknowledgeth me before men, man’s Son shall acknowledge him before the angels of God.

⁹But he that denieth me before men, shall be denied before the angels of God.

¹⁰And each that saith a word against man’s Son or against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven to him; but it shall not be forgiven to him, that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost.

¹¹And when they lead you into synagogues, and to magistrates, and potentates, do not ye be busy, how or what ye shall answer, or what ye shall say.

¹²For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in that hour, what it behooveth you to say.

¹³And one of the people said to him, Master, say to my brother, that he part with me the heritage.

¹⁴And he said to him, Man, who ordained me a doomsman, or a parter, on you? or over you?

¹⁵And he said to them, See ye, and beware of all covetousness; for the life of a man is not in the abundance of the things, which he wieldeth.

¹⁶And he told to them a likeness, and said, The field of a rich man brought forth plenteous fruits.

¹⁷And he thought within himself, and said, What shall I do, for I have not whither I shall gather my fruits?

¹⁸And he saith, This thing I shall do; I shall throw down my barns, and I shall make greater, and thither I shall gather all things that grow to me, and my goods.

¹⁹And I shall say to my soul, Soul, thou hast many goods kept into full many years; rest thou, eat, drink, and make feast.

²⁰And God said to him, Fool, in this night they shall take thy life from thee or they shall ask of thee thy soul. And whose shall those things be, that thou hast arrayed?

²¹So is he that treasureth to himself, and is not rich in God.

²²And he said to his disciples, Therefore I say to you, do not ye be busy to your life, what ye shall eat, neither to your body, with what ye shall be clothed.

²³The life is more than meat, and the body more than clothing.

²⁴Behold the crows, for they sow not, neither reap, to which is neither cellar, nor barn, and God feedeth them. How much more ye be or be ye of more price than they.

²⁵And who of you by thinking may put or add one cubit to his stature?

²⁶Therefore if ye may not do that that is least, what be ye busy of other things?

²⁷Behold ye the lilies of the field, how they wax; they travail not, neither spin. And I say to you, that neither Solomon in all his glory was clothed as one of these.

²⁸And 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.

²⁹And do not ye seek, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; and do not ye be raised on high.

³⁰For folks of the world seek all these things; and your Father knoweth, that ye have need to all these things.

³¹Nevertheless seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be cast to you.
