profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for it? Lay up treasure, therefore, in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt.”27 And, “Be ye kind and merciful, as your Father also is kind and merciful, and 168 maketh His sun to rise on sinners, and the righteous, and the wicked. Take no thought what ye shall eat, or what ye shall put on: are ye not better than the birds and the beasts? And God feedeth them. Take no thought, therefore, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall put on; for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. But seek ye the kingdom of heaven, and all these things shall be added unto you. For where his treasure is, there also is the mind of a man.”28 And, “Do not these things to be seen of men; otherwise ye have no reward from your Father which is in heaven.”29 27 Luke vi. 30, 34; Matt. vi. 19, Matt. xvi. 26, Matt. vi. 20. 28 Luke vi. 36; Matt. v. 45, Matt. vi. 25, 26, 33, 21. 29 Matt. vi. 1. 439 Chapter XV.—What Christ himself taught.
