He that is faithful in that which is least: the same is faithful in much. So then if ye have not been faithful in the wicked mammon, who will believe you in that which is true?

No servant can serve two masters, for either he shall hate the one and love the other, or else he shall lean to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God, and mammon."
