    15 Then He said to them, "Watch out, and be on guard against every form of greed, because one’s life is not defined by the abundance of possessions."

    16 And He told them a parable, saying, "The land of a certain rich man produced a bountiful harvest.

    17 And he thought to himself, saying, 'What shall I do, for 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 I will store all my grain and my goods there.

    19 And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take it easy, eat, drink, and be merry.”'

    20 But God said to him, 'Fool! This very night your soul will be required of you, and the things you have prepared—who will they belong to?'

    21 So it is with one who stores up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.

    22 Then He said to His disciples, "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear.

    23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing.

    24 Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn, yet God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds!
