Luke 12:20
Compare all
18 So he said, ‘I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build greater, and there I will store all my crops and my goods.
19 And I will say to my soul, a“Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; beat, drink, and be merry.” ’  
20 But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night ayour soul will be required of you; bthen whose will those things be which you have provided?’  
21 “So is he who lays up treasure for himself, aand is not rich toward God.”  

Do Not Worry

22 Then He said to His disciples, “Therefore I say to you, ado not worry about your life, what you will eat; nor about the body, what you will put on.  
23 Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.
24 Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor barn; and aGod feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds?  
25 And which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
26 If you then are not able to do the least, why1 are you anxious for the rest?  
27 Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you, even aSolomon in all his glory was not1 arrayed like one of these.  
28 If then God so clothes the grass, which today is in the field and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will He clothe you, O you of alittle faith?  
29 “And do not seek what you should eat or what you should drink, nor have an anxious mind.
30 For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and your Father aknows that you need these things.  
31 aBut seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you.  
32 “Do not fear, little flock, for ait is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.  
33 aSell what you have and give balms; cprovide yourselves money bags which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches nor moth destroys.
