NASB | Matthew 6:24 ¶ "No one can 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 cannot serve God and wealth. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 6:24 ¶ "No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon [money, possessions, fame, status, or whatever is valued more than the Lord]. |
Bible Question (short): Did Jesus say: Serve TWO masters? |
Question (full): Based on what Matthew 5:43-48 says: that we shd love our friends and love our enemies, and love the good and love the evil, and love the just and love the unjust, and shd NOT love our friends BUT HATE our enemies and shd NOT love the good BUT HATE the bad, amd shd NOT love the just BUT HATE the unjust, shd not matthew 6:24 also say something like: No man who loves his friends AND HATES his enemies can serve two masters: for either HE WILL HATE THE ONE, and LOVE THE OTHER; or else HE WILL HOLD IN LOVE TO THE ONE, and DESPISE THE OTHER. Ye in Love of any one word but in Hate for the opposite word cannot serve God and Mammon? And then wdn't that make sense with Luke 16:9 where it says: Make friends of the Mammon of unrighteousness, since we are to lvoe both God and Mammon as in 6:24? And then wdn't Matthew 22:21 also make perfect sense with 6:24 when it says: Then saith He unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; the other master and render unto God the things that are God's. The One Master? Please answer me to help me or show me where i am wrong or show me how I am right [smile] or just challenge or just confirm. Love and Respect, Giam |
