Luke 12 💬 📚 📜 📕 ↷
15 And he said to them: See and beware of all avarice: for not in any man's aboundance doth his life consist, of those things which he possesseth.
16 And he spake a similitude to them, saying: A certain rich man's field yielded plenty of fruits.
17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have not whither to gather my fruits?
18 And he said: This will I do, I will destroy my barns, and will make greater, and thither will I gather all things that are grown to me, and my goods.
19 And I will say to my soul; Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years, take thy rest, eat, drink, make good cheer.
20 But God said to him, Thou fool, this night they require thy soul of thee; and the things that thou hast provided, whose shall they be?
21 So is he that layeth up treasure to himself, and is not rich to God-ward.
33 Sell the things that you possess, and give alms. Make to you purses that wear not, treasure that wasteth not, in Heaven: whither the thief approacheth not, neither doth the moth corrupt.
34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
