18 so that you do not appear to men to be fasting, but to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you1 openly.
Lay Up Treasures in Heaven
19 a“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal;
20 abut lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.
21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
The Lamp of the Body
22 a“The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is1 good, your whole body will be full of light.
23 But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
You Cannot Serve God and Riches
24 a“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. bYou cannot serve God and mammon.
Do Not Worry
25 “Therefore I say to you, ado not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?
