7. But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
8. Also I say to you, Whoever shall confess me before men, him will the Son of man also confess before the angels of God.
9. But he that denieth me before men, shall be denied before the angels of God.
10. And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but to him that blasphemeth against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven.
11. And when they bring you to the synagogues, and before magistrates, and powers, be not solicitous how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:
12. For the Holy Spirit will teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.
13. And one of the company said to him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
14. And he said to him, Man, who made me a judge, or a divider over you?
15. And he said to them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
16. And he spoke a parable to them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
17. And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to deposit my fruits?
18. And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I deposit all my fruits and my goods.
19. And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast abundance of goods laid up for many years; take thy ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
20. But God said to him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be which thou hast provided?
21. So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich towards God.
22. And he said to his disciples, Therefore I say to you, Be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.
23. The life is more than food, and the body is more than raiment.
24. Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap: which neither have store-house, nor barn; and God feedeth them: How much more are ye better than the fowls?
