SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 5:1–7:29: Jesus preached a sermon on a mountain

For many years, English versions and Christians have commonly referred to Matthew 5–7 as “The Sermon on the Mount.” In some translations, it may be helpful to include a heading for chapters 5–7 that is on a level above the section heading for 5:1–12.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

The Sermon on the Mountain

The sermon that Jesus preached on a mountain

Jesus taught people on the side of a mountain/hill

Paragraph 6:19–21

In this paragraph, Jesus warned against trying to save a lot of money or things here on earth. They just disappear. Rather, be eager to increase your spiritual worth, because that is what lasts. And what you strive to have will become what you think about and desire.

6:20a

But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven,

But: There is a contrast between 6:19 and 6:20. The contrast is between storing up treasure on earth (6:19) and storing up treasures in heaven (6:20).

Here are some ways to introduce this contrast:

but (RSV)

Instead (GNT)

Rather

store up for yourselves: This phrase is identical to the phrase in 6:19a. Translate it here as you did there.

treasures in heaven: The phrase treasures in heaven is parallel to and contrasts with the phrase “treasures on earth” in 6:19a. If possible, use the same word for “treasures” here as in 6:19a.

This verse does not specifically say what these treasures are, but it probably includes rewards from God. God will reward his people for doing their “acts of righteousness” such as giving to the needy (6:2–4), praying (6:5–8), and fasting (6:16–18), and doing all these in secret.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

6:20b

where moth and rust do not destroy,

6:20c

and where thieves do not break in and steal.

6:20b–c

where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal: Except for the negatives do not, the words of this clause are the same as those in 6:19b–c. The negative do not is also implied before steal. You should translate this clause the same way as you did there, but add the negatives.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

where there are no moths and no rust to destroy them, and no thieves to steal them

Store your treasures in heaven, where they will never become moth-eaten or rusty and where they will be safe from thieves. (NLT96)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-unknown

οὔτε σὴς οὔτε βρῶσις

neither nor (Some words not found in SR-GNT: θησαυρίζετε δέ ὑμῖν θησαυρούς ἐν οὐρανῷ ὅπου οὔτε σής οὔτε βρῶσις ἀφανίζει καί ὅπου κλέπται οὒ διορύσσουσι οὐδέ κλέπτουσιν)

See how you translated these words in [6:19](../06/19.md). Alternate translation: [neither flies nor corrosion]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οὐ διορύσσουσιν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: θησαυρίζετε δέ ὑμῖν θησαυρούς ἐν οὐρανῷ ὅπου οὔτε σής οὔτε βρῶσις ἀφανίζει καί ὅπου κλέπται οὒ διορύσσουσι οὐδέ κλέπτουσιν)

See how you translated this phrase in [6:19](../06/19.md). Alternate translation: [do not break in to houses]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

6:20 treasures in heaven: This was a common image for Jews of Jesus’ day; doing God’s commands became virtually equivalent to accumulating treasures with God. The context (6:19; Luke 12:33) suggests that Jesus primarily had acts of charity in mind.
