Lasting Treasure
6:19 “Do not accumulate for yourselves treasures on earth , where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal .
6:20 But accumulate for yourselves treasures in heaven , where moth and rust do not destroy , and thieves do not break in and steal .
6:21 For where your treasure is , there your heart will be also .
6:22 “The eye is the lamp of the body . If then your eye is healthy , your whole body will be full of light.
6:23 But if your eye is diseased , your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness , how great is the darkness !
6:24 “No one can serve two masters , for either he will hate the one and love the other , or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other . You cannot cannot serve God and money .
