Treasures in Heaven

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.

²² “^(D)The eye is the lamp of the body; so then if your eye is ^[a]clear, your whole body will be full of light. ²³ But if ^(E)your eye is ^[b]bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!

²⁴ “^(F)No one can ^[c]serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot ^[d]serve God and ^[e](G)wealth.

Do Not Worry

²⁵ “^(H)For this reason I say to you, ^[f]do not be ^(I)worried about your ^[g]life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? ^26 (J)Look at the birds of the ^[h]air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they? ²⁷ And which of you by ^(K)worrying can ^(L)add a single ^[i]cubit to his ^[j]life span? ²⁸ And why are you ^(M)worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, ²⁹ yet I say to you that not even ^(N)Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. ³⁰ But if God so clothes the ^(O)grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? ^(P)You of little faith! ³¹ Do not ^(Q)worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’ ³² For all these things the Gentiles eagerly seek; for ^(R)your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. ³³ But ^[k]seek first ^[l]His kingdom and His righteousness, and ^(S)all these things will be ^[m]added to you.

³⁴ “So do not ^(T)worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will worry about itself. ^[n]Each day has enough trouble of its own.
