Store up for yourselves treasures in Heaven
where moth and rust cannot destroy and thieves cannot break in and steal

You know how atheists rarely venture outside of the Old Testament lest they run into teachings of Jesus that convict them of a deep need for forgiveness? And you know how atheists accuse Christians of cherry-picking verses to make our case? Do you think atheists ever do the same thing? Do you ever see or hear an atheist ranting about this?

Do not take interest or any profit from foreigners, but fear your God, so that they may continue to live among you. You must not lend them money at interest or sell them food at a profit
Leviticus 25:36,37

If you lend money to one of my people among you who is needy, do not treat it like a business deal; charge no interest.
Exodus 22:25

You may not charge a fellow Israelite interest, so that the Lord your God may bless you in everything you put your hand to in the land you are entering to possess.
Deuteronomy 23:20

Immense riches are seldom possessed by leaders of countries or corporations without the oppression of their citizens, employees or investors. Immense riches are seldom gained without the willingness to rape and plunder the earth. Unlike their neighbours, and unlike our modern industrial societies, people in ancient Israel (those who atheists call dim-witted bronze-age goat herders) were to make sure they did nothing to take advantage of each other.
Peace, Mercy and Justice were then and are today to be the hallmark of God's people.
