Matthew 6:24

God And Possessions

²³ But if your eye is evil, your whole body will be dark. Therefore if the light in you is darkness, how great [is] the darkness! ²⁴ "No one is able to serve two masters. For either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You are not able to serve God and money. ²⁵ "For this [reason] I say to you, do not be anxious for your life, what you will eat, and not for your body, what you will wear. Is your life not more than food and your body [more than] clothing?
