Luke 12:16-21 ▼

16 Then he used this illustration. He said, |A rich man had land that produced good crops.

17 He thought, 'What should I do? I don't have enough room to store my crops.'

18 He said, 'I know what I'll do. I'll tear down my barns and build bigger ones so that I can store all my grain and goods in them.

19 Then I'll say to myself, |You've stored up a lot of good things for years to come. Take life easy, eat, drink, and enjoy yourself.|'

20 |But God said to him, 'You fool! I will demand your life from you tonight! Now who will get what you've accumulated?'

21 That's how it is when a person has material riches but is not rich in his relationship with God.|
