16 When you fast, don't be like the hypocrites who put on sad faces and make themselves look terrible so that everyone can see they're fasting. I tell you the truth, they already have their reward.17 Instead, when you fast, wash your face and look smart,18 so that people won't see you're fasting, and your unseen Father who sees what happens in private will reward you.
19 Don't pile up wealth here on earth where moths and rust ruin it, and where thieves break in and steal it.20 Instead, you should store up your wealth in heaven, where moths and rust don't ruin it, and where thieves don't break in and steal it.21 For what you value the most shows who you really are.
