Christ's sermon yourselves *treasures 20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: MATT. VI. on the mount. 21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. 23 But if thine eye An earthly be evil, thy whole minded man body shall be full of avows that darkness. If therefore his treasure the light that is in and a heathee be darkness, how venly mindgreat is that dark-ed man that ness! his is above. Christ's sermon no thought, saying, What shall we eat or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32 For after all these things do the Gentiles seek :) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33 But bseek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow for the morrow shalltakethought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. CHAP. VII. 1*JUDGE anot, that ye be not judged. MATT. VII. A.
