Matthew 6:19
Douay-Rheims
Lay not up to yourselves treasures on earth: where the rust, and moth consume, and where thieves break through and steal.
John Chrysostom
When He has driven away the disease of vanity, He does well to bring in speech of contempt of riches. For there is no greater cause of desire of money than love of praise; for this men desire troops of slaves, horses accoutred in gold, and tables of silver, not for use or pleasure, but that they may be seen of many; therefore He says, Lay not up for yourselves treasure on earth.
