So it is with the one who stores up riches for himself, but is not rich toward God.”

Think about the circumstances of your call, brothers and sisters.

Do not be led astray, my dear brothers and sisters.

Then he called the crowd again and said to them,“ Listen to me, everyone, and understand.

The Lord will deliver me from every evil deed and will bring me safely into his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory for ever and ever! Amen.
