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.
Note, That tho it be our God and Saviour that layeth up our treasure in Heaven, and saveth us freely by Grace, yet it is we that are commanded to lay it up, and save our selves, subordinately, by faith, hope, love, and labour, which qualify us as fit receivers of it.
