Matthew 6:24

God And Possessions

²³ But if thine eye is bad, thy whole body will be dark. If therefore the light that is in thee is darkness, how great is the darkness! ²⁴ No man can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one, and love the other, or he will hold to one, and disparage the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. ²⁵ Because of this I say to you, be not anxious about your life, what ye may eat, or what ye may drink, nor yet for your body, what ye may wear. Is not the life more than the food, and the body than the clothing?
