“He does not call mammon Lord when He says, "Ye cannot serve two masters;" but He teaches”
ANF01. The Apostolic Fathers with Justin Martyr and Irenaeus
“They are here called the mammon of iniquity, because oftentimes ill gotten, ill bestowed, or an occasion of evil; and at the best are but worldly, and false; and not the true riches of a Christian.”
The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 49: Luke The Challoner Revision
“He calls mammon unjust, because it draws our affections by the various allurements of wealth.”
“There were people in the country who, when it came into their hands, degraded it by locking it up in a chest, and then it grew diseased and was called mammon, and bred all sorts of quarrels; but when first it left the king's hands it never made any but friends, and the air of the world kept it clean.”
“This, I think, is what our Lord bids us do, if we have wronged any man, and fouled our hands with the unrighteous mammon, that is, with ill-gotten wealth.”
“The riches of this world are deceitful and uncertain; they are the unrighteous mammon, which is hastening from us apace, and, if we would make any advantage of it, we must bestir ourselves quickly; if we do not, how can we expect to be entrusted with spiritual riches, which are the only true riches? v. 11.”
“We have no other way to prove ourselves the servants of God than by giving up ourselves so entirely to his service as to make mammon, that is, all our worldly gain, serviceable to us in his service (v. 13): No servant can serve two masters, whose commands are so inconsistent as those of God and mammon are.”
“And it was paid for in BLOOD - which is FAR MORE precious than 'mammon'!”
