"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."1
14
The Pharisees, who loved money,2 heard all this and were sneering at Jesus.3
15
He said to them, "You are the ones who justify yourselves4 in the eyes of men, but God knows your hearts.5 What is highly valued among men is detestable in God's sight.

The rich man also died and was buried. 23 In hell,a where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side.Scripture quoted by permission.
