Luke Chapter 12, Verse 17
From BibleWiki
17: και διελογιζετο εν εαυτω λεγων τι ποιησω οτι ουκ εχω που συναξω τους καρπους μου
17: And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do,
because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
17: And he thought within himself, saying: What shall I do, because I
have no room where to bestow my fruits?
He thought within himself. He reasoned or inquired. He was anxious
and perplexed. Riches increase thought and perplexity. Indeed, this is
almost their only effect -- to engross the thoughts and steal the heart
away from better things, in order to take care of the useless wealth.
No room. Everything was full.
To bestow. To place, to hoard, to collect.
My fruits. Our word fruits is not applied to grain; but the Greek word is applied to all the produce of the earth -- not only fruit, but also grain. This is likewise the old meaning of the English word, especially in the plural number.
