Matthew 6:24
| ← Matthew 6:23 [words of Jesus] | Matthew 6:24 (KJV) [words of Jesus] | Matthew 6:25 [words of Jesus] → |
|---|---|---|
But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great [is] that darkness!
|
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
|
Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
