Matthew 6:19-29

19“Do not accumulate for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal.

20But accumulate for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal.

21For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

22“The eye is the lamp of the body. If then your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light.

23But 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!

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 serve God and money.

25“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Isn’t there more to life than food and more to the body than clothing?

26Look at the birds in the sky: They do not sow, or reap, or gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you more valuable than they are?

27And which of you by worrying can add even one hour to his life?

28Why do you worry about clothing? Think about how the flowers of the field grow; they do not work or spin.

29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed like one of these!
