^33 (A)Sell your possessions, and ^(B)give to the needy. ^(C)Provide yourselves with moneybags that do not grow old, with ^(D)a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.

²¹ Jesus said to him, “If you would be ^(A)perfect, go, ^(B)sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have ^(C)treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”

^34 (A)There was not a needy person among them, for ^(B)as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold ³⁵ and ^(C)laid it at the apostles' feet, and ^(D)it was distributed to each as any had need.

⁴⁵ And ^(A)they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need.

²² When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “One thing you still lack. ^(A)Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have ^(B)treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”

Lay Up Treasures in Heaven

^19 (A)“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where ^(B)moth and rust^[a] destroy and where thieves ^(C)break in and steal, ^20 (D)but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, 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.

⁹ And I tell you, ^(A)make friends for yourselves by means of ^(B)unrighteous wealth,^[a] so that when it fails they may receive you into the eternal dwellings.

¹⁷ As for the rich in ^(A)this present age, charge them ^(B)not to be haughty, nor ^(C)to set their hopes on ^(D)the uncertainty of riches, but on God, ^(E)who richly provides us with everything to enjoy. ¹⁸ They are to do good, ^(F)to be rich in good works, to be generous and ^(G)ready to share, ¹⁹ thus ^(H)storing up treasure for themselves as a good foundation for the future, so that they may ^(I)take hold of ^(J)that which is truly life.

²¹ So is the one ^(A)who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.”
