[16] And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: [17] And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow fruits? [18] And he said, will I do: I will pull down barns, and build and there will I bestow all and goods. [19] And I will say soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. [20] But God said unto him, Thou fool, night soul shall be required of then whose which thou hast provided? [21] So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and not rich toward God. [22] And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say no thought life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. [23] The life more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. [24] Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more better than the fowls? [25] And which of with taking thought can add to his stature cubit? [26] If ye then able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest? [27] Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say that Solomon in all his glory not arrayed like one [28] If then God so clothe the grass, is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more O ye of little faith? [29] And seek not what ye shall eat, what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. [30] For all the nations of the world seek after: and Father knoweth that ye have need [31] But rather seek ye the kingdom and shall be added [32] Fear not, little flock; for Father's good pleasure to give the kingdom. [33] Sell and give alms; provide yourselves bags not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. [34] For where treasure there heart also. [35] loins girded about, and your lights burning; [36] And like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately. [37] Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say that he shall gird himself, and them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. [38] And he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed those [39] And know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through. [40] Be ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.
