The F.O.G
[13] Just as no employee can fully serve two competing CEOs, you cannot serve both God and Money. You'll inevitably favor one and resent the other. Your ultimate loyalty must be undivided."
The F.O.G Paraphrase
‘No domestic is able to serve two lords, for either the one he will hate, and the other he will love; or one he will hold to, and of the other he will be heedless; ye are not able to serve God and mammon.’
