13 No house servant can be a slave to two masters; for, either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will stick to the one and despise the other. YOU cannot be slaves to God and to riches.”*+

16 Do YOU not know that if YOU keep presenting yourselves to anyone as slaves to obey him, YOU are slaves of him because YOU obey him,+ either of sin+ with death in view+ or of obedience+ with righteousness+ in view?

4 Adulteresses,*+ do YOU not know that the friendship with the world is enmity with God?+ Whoever, therefore, wants to be a friend+ of the world is constituting himself an enemy of God.+
