  you be trusted with money of your own? 13"No one
  can serve two masters. For you will hate one and
  love the other, or be devoted to one and despise
  the other. You cannot serve both God and money."

  interest?'

  everyone who has will be given and from him who
  does not have, even what he has will be taken

  mine, who did not want me to reign over them, and
