Also geht es, wer sich Schätze sammelt und ist nicht reich in Gott.
Así es el que hace para sí tesoro, y no es rico en Dios.
Il en est ainsi de celui qui amasse des trésors pour lui-même, et qui n'est pas riche pour Dieu.
Così avviene a chi fa tesoro a sè stesso, e non è ricco in Dio
Assim é aquele que para si ajunta tesouros, e não é rico para com Deus.
凡為自己積財,在上帝面前卻不富足的,也是這樣。」
