“But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.”
This verse is part of Jesus' teaching in the Sermon on the Mount about where a person's real security and desire lie. In the ancient world, wealth could be lost to moths eating stored cloth, to rust, and to thieves breaking through mud-brick walls.
