Concerning Fasting

16 “And whenever you fast, do not look somber, like the hypocrites, for they mark their faces to show others that they are fasting.

Concerning Treasures

19 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust[c] consume and where thieves break in and steal,(C) 20 but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust[d] consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal.(D) 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
