Luke 16:14

Hypocrisy, Law, And The Kingdom Of God

¹³ No domestic, can, unto two masters, be in service; for either, the one, he will hate, and, the other, love, or, unto the one, he will hold, and, the other, despise: Ye cannot, unto God, be in service, and unto Riches. ¹⁴ Now the Pharisees, who were, lovers of money, were hearing all these things, and were openly sneering at him. ¹⁵ And he said unto them - Ye, are they who justify themselves before men, but, God, knoweth your hearts; because, that which amongst men is lofty, is an abomination before God.
