Sell what you have, and give alms; provide yourselves purses which grow not old, a treasure in the heavens that fails not, where no thief approaches, neither moth corrupts.
All Commentaries on Luke 12:33 Go To Luke 12
Cyprian of Carthage
AD 258
Therefore in the Gospel, the Lord, the Teacher of our life and Master of eternal salvation, quickening the assembly of believers, and providing for them for ever when quickened, among His divine commands and precepts of heaven, commands and prescribes nothing more frequently than that we should devote ourselves to almsgiving, and not depend on earthly possessions, but rather lay up heavenly treasures. "Sell "says He, "your goods, and give alms.".
Concerning this same matter in the Gospel according to Luke: "Sell your possessions, and give alms."
