Matthew 6:19-24

Good News Translation

Riches in Heaven^(A)

^19 (B)“Do not store up riches for yourselves here on earth, where moths and rust destroy, and robbers break in and steal. ^20 (C)Instead, store up riches for yourselves in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and robbers cannot break in and steal. ²¹ For your heart will always be where your riches are.

The Light of the Body^(D)

²² “The eyes are like a lamp for the body. If your eyes are sound, your whole body will be full of light; ²³ but if your eyes are no good, your body will be in darkness. So if the light in you is darkness, how terribly dark it will be!

God and Possessions^(E)

²⁴ “You cannot be a slave of two masters; you will hate one and love the other; you will be loyal to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
