Good News Bible

Luke 12:19-23 Good News Bible (GNB)

19. Then I will say to myself, Lucky man! You have all the good things you need for many years. Take life easy, eat, drink, and enjoy yourself!’

20. But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night you will have to give up your life; then who will get all these things you have kept for yourself?’ ”

21. And Jesus concluded, “This is how it is with those who pile up riches for themselves but are not rich in God's sight.”

22. Then Jesus said to the disciples, “And so I tell you not to worry about the food you need to stay alive or about the clothes you need for your body.

23. Life is much more important than food, and the body much more important than clothes.
