     Yīge púrén bùnéng shìfèng liǎng ge zhǔ; bùshì è zhège ài nàge, jiùshì zhòng zhège qīng nàge. Nǐmen bùnéng yòu shìfèng Shén, yòu shìfèng mǎmén. [Pinyin]

     No servant 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.
