|
| Nor would someone light a lamp and then put it under a basket; rather, it is placed upon a lampstand so that it may afford light to all in the house. In the same way, your light must shine so that it can be seen by others; this will enable them to observe your good works and give praise to your Father in heaven. | Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

| No one can serve two masters. For you will either hate the one and love the other or be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money. | No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. |

| The wealth of a rich man is his stronghold; he regards it as a high wall that cannot be scaled. | The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit. |
| How can a young man lead a spotless life? By living according to your word. | Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. |
