Disciples’ Literal New Testament
20 But be treasuring up treasures for yourselves in heaven, where neither moth nor eating destroys, and where thieves do not break in nor steal.
Your Heart Will Be Where Your Treasure Is. You Cannot Serve God And Money
21 “For where your treasure is, there your heart also will be. 22 The lamp[a] of the body is the eye. Therefore if your eye is single[b], your whole body will be full-of-light[c].
