MAMMON THE GOD OF MIND, MUSCLE AND MONEY PART 1 OF 3

MAMMON 

THE GOD OF MIND; MUSCLE AND MONEY

Scholars do not agree about its etymology, but it is theorized that Mammon derives from Latin mammon, from Greek "μαμμων?ς mammonas", Syriac mámóna ("riches"),the Aramaic mamon ("riches, money"), from Hebre ???? (mamôn) meaning money, wealth, or possessions; although it may also have meant "that in which one trusts".

Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 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.

— Matthew 6:19–21,24 (KJV)
