Treasure in Heaven-scriptural excerpts

When thou sittest to eat with a ruler,
consider diligently what is before thee.
Be not desirous of his dainties
for they are deceitful meat.
Labor not to be rich:
cease from thine own wisdom.
Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye,
neither desire thou his dainty meats.
For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.

Speak not in the ears of a fool,
he will despise the wisdom of your words.
Remove not the old landmark,
enter not into the fields of the fatherless.
Apply thine heart unto instruction,
and thine ears to the words of knowledge.
Withhold not correction from the child.

Neither cast ye your pearls before swine
lest they turn again and rend you.

But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,
where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt,
and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also

The light of the body is the eye:
if therefore thine eye be single,
thy whole body shall be full of light.
But if thine eye be evil,
thy whole body shall be full of darkness.
If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness,
how great is that darkness!
