Servants » Servants not being able to serve two masters
Be not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? What communion has light with darkness? What agreement has Christ with Belial? What connection has a believer with an unbeliever? What has a temple of God in common with one of idols? For you are the temple of the living God, as God has said: I will dwell in them, and walk among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

Behold, we put bits into horses mouths that they may obey us, and we turn about their whole body. Behold also the ships, which are very great, and are driven by violent winds; yet they are turned about by a very small helm, to whatever point the will of him that directs it may determine. read more.
So, also, the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things. Behold, how great a forest does a little fire set in a blaze. And the tongue is a fire, the world of iniquity. So is the tongue placed among our members, defiling the whole body, setting on fire the course of life, and being set on fire by hell.
