17. Instead, comb your hair and wash your face.
18. Then others won't know that you are going without eating. But your Father sees what is done in private, and he will reward you.
19. Don't store up treasures on earth! Moths and rust can destroy them, and thieves can break in and steal them.
20. Instead, store up your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy them, and thieves cannot break in and steal them.
21. Your heart will always be where your treasure is.
22. Your eyes are like a window for your body. When they are good, you have all the light you need.
23. But when your eyes are bad, everything is dark. If the light inside you is dark, you are in the dark.
24. You cannot be the slave of two masters! You will like one more than the other or be more loyal to one than the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
25. I tell you not to worry about your life. Don't worry about having something to eat, drink, or wear. Isn't life more than food or clothing?
26. Look at the birds in the sky! They don't plant or harvest. They don't even store grain in barns. Yet your Father in heaven takes care of them. Aren't you worth more than birds?
27. Can worry make you live longer?
28. Why worry about clothes? Look how the wild flowers grow. They don't work hard to make their clothes.
29. But I tell you that Solomon with all his wealth wasn't as well clothed as one of them.
