18 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully;

19 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?

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

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

22 But God said unto him, Thou fool! This night thy soul shall be required of thee; then whose shall those things be which thou hast provided?

23 So shall it be with him who layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

24 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.

25 For the life is more than meat, and the body than raiment.

26 Consider the ravens; for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; nevertheless God feedeth them. Are ye not better than the fowls?

27 And who of you by taking thought, can add to his stature one cubit?

28 If ye then be not able to do that which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?
