Luke 16:13

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

No servant 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 servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. You aren’t able to serve God and mammon.”
World English Bible (WEB)
No{G3762} servant{G3610} 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
(13) No household slave can serve two masters because either he will hate the one and love the other or he will be devoted to one and look down on the other. You can't serve יהוה YAHWEH and mammon.
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.’
Young's Literal Translation
