¹⁹ “^(A)Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. ²⁰ But store up for yourselves ^(B)treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; ²¹ for ^(C)where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

¹⁵ But He said to them, “^(A)Beware, and be on your guard against every form of greed; for not even when one is affluent does his life consist of his possessions.” ¹⁶ And He told them a parable, saying, “The land of a rich man was very productive. ¹⁷ And he began thinking to himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, since I have no place to store my crops?’ ¹⁸ And he said, ‘This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and I will store all my grain and my goods there. ¹⁹ And I will say to ^[a]myself, “^(B)You have many goods stored up for many years to come; relax, eat, drink, and enjoy yourself!”’ ²⁰ But God said to him, ‘^(C)You fool! This very night ^[b](D)your soul is demanded of you; and ^(E)as for all that you have prepared, who will own it now?’ ²¹ Such is the one who ^(F)stores up treasure for himself, and is not rich in relation to God.”
