The verses around Matthew 6:21.
19Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
22The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
23But 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!
Verse explanation
The sentence sums up the argument: where someone puts his own resources reveals, in practice, what that person values most — the heart follows the investment, not the other way around.
From the Matthew 6 study in Bible in Stories.
