"No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth. (Matt. 6:24 ) For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. (Rom 8:2) For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. Therefore what benefit were you then deriving from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the outcome of those things is death. But now having been freed from sin and enslaved to God, you derive your benefit, resulting in sanctification, and the outcome, eternal life. (Rom. 6:20-22 ) that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. (Rom 8:21) and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free." (Joh 8:32)
