Luke 12:13-34 / Exodus 20:17


Luke 12:13-34
[12:13] Then one from the crowd said to Him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me."
[12:14] But He said to him, "Man, who made Me a judge or an arbitrator over you?"
[12:15] And He said to them, "Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses."
[12:16] Then He spoke a parable to them, saying： "The ground of a certain rich man yielded plentifully.
[12:17] "And he thought within himself, saying, 'What shall I do, since I have no room to store my crops?'
[12:18] "So he said, 'I will do this： I will pull down my barns and build greater, and there I will store all my crops and my goods.
[12:19] 'And I will say to my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry."'
[12:20] "But God said to him, 'Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?'
[12:21] "So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."
[12:22] Then He said to His disciples, "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; nor about the body, what you will put on.
[12:23] "Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.
[12:24] "Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds?
[12:25] "And which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
[12:26] "If you then are not able to do the least, why are you anxious for the rest?
[12:27] "Consider the lilies, how they grow： they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
[12:28] "If then God so clothes the grass, which today is in the field and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith?
[12:29] "And do not seek what you should eat or what you should drink, nor have an anxious mind.
[12:30] "For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that you need these things.
[12:31] "But seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you.
[12:32] "Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
[12:33] "Sell what you have and give alms; provide yourselves money bags which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches nor moth destroys.
[12:34] "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.


Exodus 20:17
"You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's."
