Bible. Luke
42:012:018 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and
build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my
goods.
42:012:019 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up
for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
42:012:020 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be
required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou
hast provided?
42:012:021 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich
toward God.
42:012:022 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take
no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the
body, what ye shall put on.
42:012:023 The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.
42:012:024 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which
neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how
much more are ye better than the fowls?
42:012:025 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature
one cubit?
42:012:026 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why
take ye thought for the rest?
42:012:027 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin
not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was
not arrayed like one of these.
42:012:028 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field,
and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he
clothe you, O ye of little faith?
42:012:029 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink,
neither be ye of doubtful mind.
42:012:030 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after:
and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
42:012:031 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things
shall be added unto you.
42:012:032 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure
to give you the kingdom.
42:012:033 Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags
which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not,
where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.
42:012:034 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
42:012:035 Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
42:012:036 And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when
he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and
knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.
42:012:037 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall
find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird
himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come
forth and serve them.
