Luke 12:4-21

⁴I saye vnto you my fredes: Be not afrayde of them that kyll the body and after that have no moare that they can do.

⁵But I will shewe you whom ye shall feare. Feare him which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell. Ye I saye vnto you him feare.

⁶Are not five sparowes bought for two farthinges? And yet not one of them is forgotten of God.

⁷Also even the very heres of youre heedes are nombred. Feare not therfore: ye are moare of value then many sparowes.

⁸I saye vnto you: Whosoever confesseth me before men even him shall the sonne of man confesse also before the angels of God.

⁹And he that denyeth me before men: shalbe denyed before the angels of God.

¹⁰And whosoever speaketh a worde agaynst the sonne of man it shalbe forgeven him. But vnto him that blasphemeth the holy goost it shall not be forgeven.

¹¹When they bringe you vnto the synagoges and vnto the rulers and officers take no thought how or what thinge ye shall answer or what ye shall speake.

¹²For the holy goost shall teache you in the same houre what ye ought to saye.

¹³One of the company sayde vnto hym: Master byd my brother devide the enheritauce with me.

¹⁴And he sayde vnto him: Man who made me a iudge or a devider over you?

¹⁵Wherfore he sayde vnto them: take hede and beware of covetousnes. For no mannes lyfe stondeth in the aboundaunce of the thinges which he possesseth.

¹⁶And he put forth a similitude vnto them sayinge: The groude of a certayne riche man brought forth frutes plenteously

¹⁷and he thought in himsilfe sayinge: what shall I do? because I have noo roume where to bestowe my frutes?

¹⁸And he sayde: This will I do. I will destroye my barnes and bilde greater and therin will I gadder all my frutes and my goodes:

¹⁹and I will saye to my soule: Soule thou hast moch goodes layde vp in stoore for many yeares take thyne ease: eate drinke and be mery.

²⁰But God sayde vnto him: Thou fole this night will they fetche awaye thy soule agayne from the. Then whose shall thoose thinges be which thou hast provyded?

²¹So is it with him that gadereth ryches and is not ryche in God.
