Luke 12:15-21

15 But He said to them, “ ^aBeware, and be on your guard against every form of greed; for not even when one is affluent does his life consist of his possessions.” 16 And He told them a parable, saying, “The land of a rich man was very productive. 17 And he began thinking to himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, since I have no place to store my crops?’ 18 And he said, ‘This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and I will store all my grain and my goods there. 19 And I will say to ^{▼▼Lit my soul, “Soul, you have...”}myself, “ ^cYou have many goods stored up for many years to come; relax, eat, drink, and enjoy yourself!”’ 20 But God said to him, ‘ ^dYou fool! This very night ^{▼▼Lit they are demanding your soul from you
,} ^fyour soul is demanded of you; and ^gas for all that you have prepared, who will own it now?’ 21 Such is the one who ^hstores up treasure for himself, and is not rich in relation to God.”
