be no longer steward. |
|
|
|

in much. |

If therefore ye have not been faithful in the
unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? |

And if ye have not been faithful in that which
is another's, who will give you that which is your own? |
|

the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. |

away, than for one tittle of the law to fall. |
|
|
|

another, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth one that is put away from a
husband committeth adultery. |

at his gate, full of sores, |
|
|
