 16And he spoke a parable to them, saying, The land of a certain rich man brought forth abundantly.
 17And he reasoned within himself saying, What shall I do? for I have not a place where I shall lay up my fruits.
 18And 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;
 19and I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much good things laid by for many years; repose thyself, eat, drink, be merry.

 25But which of you by being careful can add to his stature one cubit?
 26If therefore ye cannot do even what is least, why are ye careful about the rest?
 27Consider the lilies how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; but I say unto you, Not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed as one of these.
 28But if God thus clothe the grass, which to-day is in the field and to-morrow is cast into the oven, how much rather you, O ye of little faith?
 29And *ye*, seek not what ye shall eat or what ye shall drink, and be not in anxiety;

 14Wherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.
 18See Israel according to flesh: are not they who eat the sacrifices in communion with the altar?
 19What then do I say? that what is sacrificed to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything?
 20But that what the nations sacrifice they sacrifice to demons, and not to God. Now I do not wish you to be in communion with demons.
