2 19 Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,

3 where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

4 22 The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness.

5 If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness! 24 No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else

6 he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. Matt. 6:19-24

7 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. Matt. 6:32

8 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Matt. 6:33

9 And He said to them, Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses. Luke 12:15

41 15 And He said to them, Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.

42 16 Then He spoke a parable to them, saying: The ground of a certain rich man yielded plentifully. 17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, since I have no room to store my crops?

43 18 So he said, I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build greater, and there I will store all my crops and my goods. 19 And I will say to my soul,

44 Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry. 20 But God said to him, Fool! This night your soul will be required of you;

45 then whose will those things be which you have provided? 21 So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God. Luke 12:15-21

54 26 He considered the reproach of Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking to the reward. Heb. 11:24-26
