Matthew 6:19 - The Message

^19-21 “Don’t hoard treasure down here where it gets eaten by moths and corroded by rust or—worse!—stolen by burglars. Stockpile treasure in heaven, where it’s safe from moth and rust and burglars. It’s obvious, isn’t it? The place where your treasure is, is the place you will most want to be, and end up being.

Tell those rich in this world’s wealth to quit being so full of themselves and so obsessed with money, which is here today and gone tomorrow.

If they do that, they’ll build a treasury that will last, gaining life that is truly life.

If so, I would deserve the worst of punishments, for I would be betraying God himself.
