15 And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the ^wgods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

18 Then once more you shall see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve him.

24 ^u“No one can serve two masters, for 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.¹

13 ^kNo servant can serve two masters, for 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.”

10 For am I now ^oseeking the ^papproval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant¹ of Christ.
