New Testament

Luke 12:10-21 English Revised Version (ERV)

10. And every one who shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Spirit it shall not be forgiven.

11. And when they bring you before the synagogues, and the rulers, and the authorities, be not anxious how or what ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:

12. for the Holy Spirit shall teach you in that very hour what ye ought to say.

13. And one out of the multitude said unto him, Master, bid my brother divide the inheritance with me.

14. But he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?

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

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

17. and he reasoned within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have not where to bestow my fruits?

18. And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my corn and my goods.

19. And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, be merry.

20. But God said unto him, Thou foolish one, this night is thy soul required of thee; and the things which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be?

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