Luke 12:17-21 NIV

17He thought to himself, 'What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.'

    18"Then he said, 'This is what I'll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. 19And I'll say to myself, "You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry." '

    20"But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?'

    21"This is how it will be with anyone who stores up things for himself but is not rich toward God."

   17"And he began reasoning to himself, saying, 'What shall I do, since I have no place to store my crops?'

   18"Then he said, 'This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.

   19'And I will say to my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years to come; take your ease, eat, drink and be merry."'

Luke 12:17-21 NLT

17 He said to himself, ‘What should I do? I don’t have room for all my crops.’ 18 Then he said, ‘I know! I’ll tear down my barns and build bigger ones. Then I’ll have room enough to store all my wheat and other goods. 19 And I’ll sit back and say to myself, “My friend, you have enough stored away for years to come. Now take it easy! Eat, drink, and be merry!”’

   20 “But God said to him, ‘You fool! You will die this very night. Then who will get everything you worked for?’

   21 “Yes, a person is a fool to store up earthly wealth but not have a rich relationship with God.”
