Luke 12:33

31 But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added unto you.

32 Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom.

Sell 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.

34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

35 Be dressed for service and keep your lamps burning.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
