8. But I say to you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, the Son of man will confess him also before the angels of God;
9. but he that shall have denied me before men shall be denied before the angels of God;
10. and whoever shall say a word against the Son of man it shall be forgiven him; but to him that speaks injuriously against the Holy Spirit it shall not be forgiven.
11. But when they bring you before the synagogues and rulers and the authorities, be not careful how or what ye shall answer, or what ye shall say;
12. for the Holy Spirit shall teach you in the hour itself what should be said.
13. And a person said to him out of the crowd, Teacher, speak to my brother to divide the inheritance with me.
14. But he said to him, Man, who established me as a judge or a divider over you?
15. And he said to them, Take heed and keep yourselves from all covetousness, for it is not because a man is in abundance that his life is in his possessions.
16. And he spoke a parable to them, saying, The land of a certain rich man brought forth abundantly.
17. And he reasoned within himself saying, What shall I do? for I have not a place where I shall lay up my fruits.
18. And he said, This will I do: I will take away my granaries and build greater, and there I will lay up all my produce and my good things;
19. and I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much good things laid by for many years; repose thyself, eat, drink, be merry.
20. But God said to him, Fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee; and whose shall be what thou hast prepared?
21. Thus is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
22. And he said to his disciples, For this cause I say unto you, Be not careful for life, what ye shall eat, nor for the body, what ye shall put on.
23. The life is more than food, and the body than raiment.
