19. Lay not up for your selves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal.
19. Note, 1. By Treasure is meant that which a man most loveth and trusteth to for his supply and comfort, and practically placeth his chief welfare in. 2. By laying up, is meant, over valuing, eagerly desiring and seeking and caring for. That which rust, moths, and thieves can soon bereave you of, is unfit to be your beloved trusted treasure.
20. But lay up for your selves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through and steal.
20. But by Faith place your happiness in heaven and on that lay out your care and love and labour; and so use your wealth as God hath promised to reward in Heaven: For that treasure is incorruptible, inviolable and everlasting.
