“No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.”

The Law, the Prophets, and the Kingdom

Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they derided Him.

“Beware of the scribes, who desire to go around in long robes, love greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts,

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand.

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Jesus Promises Another Helper

“If you love Me, keep My commandments.

He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.”

Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.

He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me.

You have heard Me say to you, ‘I am going away and coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice because I said, ‘I am going to the Father,’ for My Father is greater than I.

But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave Me commandment, so I do. Arise, let us go from here.
