於是對眾人說：「你們要謹慎自守，免去一切的貪心，因為人的生命不在乎家道豐富。」

路加福音第12章第15節

Jesus spoke this verse before He told a story about a ‘Rich, Young Fool.’  A man owned land that produced many crops.  He did not have room to keep it all.  He built large storage areas for his crops and had enough to last years.  The man died; he had considered wealth, but not his soul.  A person’s eternal life is much more important than any amount of earthly wealth.

基督在他說了一個有關‘有錢的，少年人’的故事之前說了這句經句。  有一個人擁有一塊生產許多作物的地。 他沒有空間來存放。 他蓋了一個大的倉庫來存放夠用多年的作物。 那個人死了；他所想的是財富而不是他的靈魂。 一個人的永生比世俗上任何數量的財富還要更加重要。
