Luke 12:13-21
Someone
in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance
with me.” 14 But he said to him, “Man, who made me a judge or arbitrator over
you?” 15 And he said to them, “Take care, and be on your guard against all
covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of his
possessions.” 16 And he told them a parable, saying, “The land of a rich man
produced plentifully, 17 and he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, for I
have nowhere to store my crops?’ 18 And he said, ‘I will do this: I will tear
down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my
goods. 19 And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have ample goods laid up for
many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.”’ 20 But God said to him, ‘Fool! This
night your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose
will they be?’ 21 So is the one who lays up treasure for himself and is not
rich toward God.”
