Matthew 6:19
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth. This forbids,
not the laying up of treasures, but laying them up on the earth; that
is, the piling up of worldly wealth for worldly purposes. Riches are no
sin in themselves, but the improper use of riches is a sin.
Where moth and rust doth corrupt. Unused garments often become
moth-eaten; unused coins sometimes rust. All earth treasure will
finally perish.
Thieves break through. Literally, "dig through". Often robbers
in the East dig through the house walls of mud or unburnt brick.
