Old Testament

New Testament

Luke 12:20-27 Modern English Version (MEV)

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.

24. Consider the ravens: They neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouses nor barns. Yet God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds?

25. Who of you by worrying can add one cubit to his height?

26. If you then cannot do what is least, why are you anxious about the other things?

27. “Consider how the lilies grow. They neither spin nor weave. Yet I say to you that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
