12 And if you did not prove-to-be trustworthy with the thing belonging to another[a], who will give you your own thing? 13 No household-servant can be serving[b] two masters. For either he will hate[c] the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and disregard the other. You cannot be serving God and wealth[d]”.
