Lasting Treasure

6:19 “Do not accumulate for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth 1  and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal.

Matthew 12:20

Context

until he brings justice to victory.

1 tn The term σής (shs) refers to moths in general. It is specifically the larvae of moths that destroy clothing by eating holes in it (L&N 4.49; BDAG 922 s.v.). See Jas 5:2, which mentions “moth-eaten” clothing.
