6:19 Wealth in heaven

(Luke 12:33-34)

19 “Don’t amass wealth for yourselves here on earth, where insects and corrosion destroy things,[ref] and where it can be stolen. 20 Instead, store your wealth in heaven, where there’s no destructive insects or corrosion or thieves or scammers, 21 because wherever your wealth is, your values will also be focused there.
