Usage: The verb "thésaurizó" is used in the New Testament to describe the act of storing up or accumulating treasures, whether material or spiritual. It often carries a connotation of preparing or saving for the future, emphasizing the importance of where and how one invests their resources and efforts. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, wealth was often measured by one's ability to accumulate and store goods, such as grain, precious metals, and other valuables.
