No one can serve two masters," because "either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money"

. The verse is part of a passage where Jesus teaches that people cannot be loyal to both God and wealth, as these two allegiances are mutually exclusive, often referred to as serving God and "mammon" (money or possessions).

Key points from Matthew 6:24:

Incompatible Allegiances: It is impossible to give full devotion to two masters simultaneously. Either you will be dedicated to one and reject the other, or vice versa.

God and Mammon: The specific pairing mentioned is God and "mammon," a Semitic word for money, wealth, or possessions.

An Exclusivity of Loyalty: This means that one's primary focus and commitment must be to either God or wealth, but not both.
