MAM'MON (Gk. from Aram. mamona', "wealth").

a word that speaks of wealth (Mt 6:24; Lk 16:9,11,13, especially wealth that is used in opposition to God. Mammon is a transliteration of the Aramaic word mamon, which means "wealth, riches," or "earthly goods."

Modern versions have "money," "gold," and "material possessions." Jesus said that no one can serve two masters-- God and money-- at the same time. Nor can mammon (money) purchase security (Lk 12:13-21). "For what is a man profited if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?" (Mt 16:26; Mr 8:36; Lk 9:25).
