(Matt 6:19-21 (NASB), "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 "But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; 21<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> for <u>where your treasure is, there your heart will be also</u>.&rdquo;</span></span></li>
