15 于是他对众人说： "你们要谨慎， 远离一切贪心， 因为人的生命并不在于家道丰富。"

16 就对他们讲了一个比喻， 说： "有一个富翁的田地丰收。

17 他自己心里说： ‘怎么办呢？因为我没有足够的地方收藏出产了！ ’

18 又说： ‘我要这样办： 我要拆掉这些仓房， 建造更大的， 好在那里收藏我的一切粮食和货物。

19 然后， 我要对我的灵魂说： 灵魂啊， 你拥有许多好东西， 足够多年享用， 只管安安逸逸地吃喝快乐吧！ ’

20 神却对他说： ‘无知的人哪， 今天晚上， 你拥有的就要取去你的灵魂， 你所预备的要归给谁呢？’

21 凡为自己积财， 在 神面前却不富足的， 也是这样。"

15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and keep yourselves from all covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. 16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: 17 and he reasoned within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have not where to bestow my fruits? 18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my grain and my goods. 19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, be merry. 20 But God said unto him, Thou foolish one, this night is thy soul required of thee; and the things which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be? 21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
