^a See Matthew 6:19-20: Do not accumulate for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust [βρῶσις] destroy and where thieves break in and steal. But accumulate for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal (NET).

^b Gk. ἐσθίω, to eat.

^c Is this the last days (the day of judgment)? Or a figurative expression meaning the end of something, when it is needless to continue to prepare, such as to ramp up for a war already concluded; to train for a race already run; or to scrounge and save in a depression that is already over?
