LUKE 16:13 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.”
No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money — the two-masters principle: divided service is impossible. Hate/love and devoted/despise are not the emotions of the heart but the practical orientations of service — what one serves in practice defines what one loves. You cannot serve both God and Money (mamōna): the capital-M Money is the personified rival deity.
