Matthew 6:24

Not-one is-being-enabled to-be-slaving to{two lords}, for either he-will-hate the one and will-love the different-other, or will-hold-in-place-of of{one} and will-disregard of{the different-other}. You-are_not_being-enabled to-be-slaving to{God} and to{mammon}.

Garth's Hyper-literal Translation

In The King James Version

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.
