Luke 12:22
Verse 22 of 59. The 12th of 24 chapters in Luke, in The Gospels.
18He said, ‘This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns, build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
19I will tell my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.”’
20“But God said to him, ‘You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared—whose will they be?’
21So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”
22He said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what you will wear.
23Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.
24Consider the ravens: they don’t sow, they don’t reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds!
25Which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his height?
26If then you aren’t able to do even the least things, why are you anxious about the rest?
