Lk 12:13:And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.

Lk 12:14:And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?

Lk 12:15:And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness:for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.

Lk 12:16:And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:

Lk 12:17:And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?

Lk 12:18: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.

Lk 12:19: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.

Lk 12:20: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?

Lk 12:21:So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
