книжн.служить Богу и мамоне [этим. библ. Matthew VI, 24]It was indeed a cause for rejoicing that in disposing of their personal enemies they had done an important service to the Church. They proved thus that it was in point of fact possible to serve God and Mammon. (W. S. Maugham, ‘Then and Now’, ch. XXXI) — Было чему радоваться: ведь избавившись от своих личных врагов, они оказали большую услугу церкви, доказав тем самым, что можно и впрямь одновременно служить Богу и мамоне.

5 mammon of unrighteousness
«Мамона неправедности». Это довольно претенциозное выражение употребляется по отношению к богатству или добытому неправедным путём, или используемому нечестно. Оно имеет библейское происхождение: And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations. — И Я говорю вам: приобретайте себе друзей богатством неправедным, чтобы они, когда обнищаете, приняли вас в вечные обители (От Луки 16:9). Слово mammon образовалось от древнееврейского mamon, что означает деньги, богатство. В раннем употреблении — обозначение дьявола алчности, жадности. Позднее — олицетворение богатства как источника зла.No man can serve two masters... Ye cannot serve God and mammon. — Никто не может служить двум господам... Не можете служить Богу и мамоне (От Мафея 6:24).
