Matthew 6:24

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

No one can serve two masters: 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 both God and money.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
“No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You can’t serve both God and Mammon.
World English Bible (WEB)
No man{G3762} can{G1410}{(G5736)} serve{G1398}{(G5721)} two{G1417} masters{G2962}: for{G1063} either{G2228} he will hate{G3404}{(G5692)} the one{G1520}, and{G2532} love{G25}{(G5692)} the other{G2087}; or else{G2228} he will hold{G472}{(G5695)} to the one{G1520}, and{G2532} despise{G2706}{(G5692)} the other{G2087}. Ye cannot{G3756}{G1410}{(G5736)} serve{G1398}{(G5721)} God{G2316} and{G2532} mammon{G3126}.
Strong's King James
(24) Nobody can serve two masters because you either hate the one and love the other, or are devoted to one and despise the other. You can't serve GOD and mammon (evil wealth).
The F.O.G*
[24] No one can fully serve two masters. You'll either resent one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money as your ultimate purpose.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
‘None is able to serve two lords, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will hold to the one, and despise the other; ye are not able to serve God and Mammon.
