Luke 12:12–21

^12rFor the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.

¹³And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me. ¹⁴And he said unto him, ^sMan, ^twho made me a judge or a divider over you? ¹⁵And he said unto them, ^uTake heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. ¹⁶And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: ¹⁷And he ^xthought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to ^ybestow my fruits? ¹⁸And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my ^zbarns, and build greater; and there will I ^ybestow all my fruits and my goods. ¹⁹And I will say to my soul, ^aSoul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and ^bbe merry. ²⁰But God said unto him, Thou fool, ^cthis night ^†dthy soul shall be required of thee: then ^ewhose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? ²¹So is he that ^flayeth up treasure for himself, and ^gis not rich toward God.
