Concerning Treasures

¹⁹ “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust^[a] consume and where thieves break in and steal,^(A)

Serving Two Masters

²⁴ “No one can serve two masters, for a slave will either hate the one and love the other or be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.^[a](A)

²¹ Jesus said to him, “If you wish to be perfect, go, sell your possessions, and give the money^[a] to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.”^(A)

⁴¹ So give as alms those things that are within and then everything will be clean for you.^(A)

³³ Sell your possessions and give alms. Make purses for yourselves that do not wear out, an unfailing treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys.^(A)
