Luke 12:15-21
New King James Version
15 And He said to them, (A)“Take heed and beware of [a]covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.”
16 Then He spoke a parable to them, saying: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded plentifully. 17 And he thought within himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, since I have no room to store my crops?’ 18 So he said, ‘I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build greater, and there I will store all my crops and my goods. 19 And I will say to my soul, (B)“Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; (C)eat, drink, and be merry.” ’ 20 But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night (D)your soul will be required of you; (E)then whose will those things be which you have provided?’
21 “So is he who lays up treasure for himself, (F)and is not rich toward God.”

And likewise the one who is in the field, let him not turn back. 32 (B)Remember Lot’s wife. 33 (C)Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it. 34 (D)I tell you, in that night there will be two [b]men in one bed: the one will be taken and the other will be left. 35 (E)Two women will be grinding together: the one will be taken and the other left. 36 [c]Two men will be in the field: the one will be taken and the other left.”
37 And they answered and said to Him, (F)“Where, Lord?”
So He said to them, “Wherever the body is, there the eagles will be gathered together.”
