"Do not lay up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
-
"But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal;
-
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

"The lamp of the body is the eye; if therefore your eye is clear, your whole body will be full of light.

-
"Do not be anxious then, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘With what shall we clothe ourselves?’
-

-
"But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you.
-
"Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
