Thematic Bible: Where your heart will be
Thematic Bible
Heart » Where your heart will be
"Do not store your valuables [here] on earth, where moths can eat them and where rust can corrode them, and where burglars can break in and steal [them]. But [rather] store up your valuables in heaven [i.e., by investing your life in spiritual things], where neither moths can eat nor rust corrode, nor burglars break in and steal, for wherever [you store] your valuables, that is where your heart [i.e., your real concern] will be also.
Sell your possessions and give [the money] to poor people; provide yourselves with money belts that do not wear out [i.e., from the constant use of carrying much money all the time, instead of investing it in others' needs]. [Then you will possess] an inexhaustible treasure in heaven, where no thief can approach, nor moth destroy. For wherever you store your valuables, that is where your heart [i.e., your real concern] will be also.
