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.

Jerome

c. A.D. 347–420 Patristic

This must be understood not of money only, but of all our possessions. The god of a glutton is his belly; of a lover his lust; and so every man serves that to which he is in bondage; and has his heart there where his treasure is.
