Matthew 6:19
King James Version
7 Jun 2026
“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:”
κλέπτης
One who takes secretly, cunningly — what does not belong to him. Jesus contrasts the thief directly with Himself. The thief comes to drain and destroy life. Jesus comes to give it — not just life, but life overflowing. Know who is at the door.
