James 5:2
Your riches have rotted and moths have eaten your clothes.
BSB
ASV
Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten.
KJV
Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
Your riches are corrupted - Σεσηπε· Are putrefied. The term πλουτος, riches, is to be taken here, not for gold, silver, or precious stones, (for these could not putrefy), but for the produce of the fields and flocks, the different stores of grain, wine, and oil, which they had laid up in their granaries, and the various changes of raiment which they had amassed in their wardrobes.
The walk8
Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.

Luke 12:33Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide yourselves with purses that will not wear out, an inexhaustible treasure in heaven, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.

Jesus told him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”
There were no needy ones among them, because those who owned lands or houses would sell their property, bring the proceeds from the sales,
Selling their possessions and goods, they shared with anyone who was in need.
On hearing this, Jesus told him, “You still lack one thing: Sell everything you own and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”
Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.

Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look at the earth below; for the heavens will vanish like smoke, the earth will wear out like a garment, and its people will die like…
how much more those who dwell in houses of clay, whose foundations are in the dust, who can be crushed like a moth!
