"And he said: ‘This is what I will do. I will tear down my barns and build larger ones. And into these, I will gather all the things that have been grown for me, as well as my goods. "
— Luke 12:18, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.”
“And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my grain and my goods. ”
“He said, 'This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns, and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.”
“Then he said,‘I will do this: I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.”
“And he said: This will I do: I will pull down my barns and will build greater: and into them will I gather all things that are grown to me and my goods.”
“And he said, This I will do: I will take down my store-houses and make greater ones, and there I will put all my grain and my goods.”
“And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.”
So he said to them: “Be cautious and wary of all avarice. For a person’s life is not found in the abundance of the things that he possesses.”
Then he spoke to them using a comparison, saying: “The fertile land of a certain wealthy man produced crops.
And he thought within himself, saying: ‘What should I do? For I have nowhere to gather together my crops.’
And he said: ‘This is what I will do. I will tear down my barns and build larger ones. And into these, I will gather all the things that have been grown for me, as well as my goods.
And I will say to my soul: Soul, you have many goods, stored up for many years. Relax, eat, drink, and be cheerful.’
But God said to him: ‘Foolish one, this very night they require your soul of you. To whom, then, will those things belong, which you have prepared?’
So it is with him who stores up for himself, and is not wealthy with God.”
