15 And he said to his disciples, Beware of all avarice: for life is not in the abundance of riches.
16 And he spake a parable to them: The ground of a certain rich man produced him much provisions.
17 And he thought within himself, and said, What shall I do? for I have not where to collect my provisions.
18 And he said, This will I do: I will destroy my house of stores, and will build and enlarge it; and there will I collect all my provender and my good things:
19 and I will say to my soul, My soul, thou hast many good things laid up for many years: be at ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
20 But Aloha said to him, Reasonless (man)! [Chasir reyona, wanting reason.] this night thy soul they shall require of thee; and then, (the things) which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be?
21 So is he who layeth up to himself treasures, and towards Aloha is not rich.
22 And he said to his disciples, Therefore I tell you, Be not anxious for yourselves, what you shall eat; neither for the body, how you shall dress:
23 for the soul is more precious than food, and the body than raiment.
24 Consider the ravens, which sow not nor reap, which have no chambers or barns, yet Aloha feeds them. How much, therefore, are you better than the fowls!
25 And which of you by being anxious could add to his stature one cubit?
26 But if indeed you are not capable of (that which is) the least, why concerning the rest are you anxious?
27 Consider the lilies, how they grow, which toil not nor spin; but I tell you that even Shelemun in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
28 But if the herbage, which today is in the field, and to-morrow is cast into the furnace, Aloha thus clothes, how much more you, little in faith!
29 And seek you not what you shall eat, and what you shall drink; nor let your mind be distracted for these:
30 for all these the nations of the world seek; but to you also your Father knoweth that these are needful.
31 But seek the kingdom of Aloha, and these all shall be added to you.
