Old Testament

New Testament

Luke 12:17-23 Modern English Version (MEV)

17. He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, for I have no room to store my crops?’

18. “Then he said, ‘This I will do: I will pull down my barns and build greater ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.

19. And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take rest. Eat, drink, and be merry.’

20. “But God said to him, ‘You fool! This night your soul will be required of you. Then whose will those things be which you have provided?’

21. “So is he who stores up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”

22. Then He said to His disciples, “Therefore I say to you, do not be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor for your body, what you will wear.

23. Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothes.
