Exegesis
The verse begins with the indefinite pronoun oudeis {οὐδεὶς | ou-de-ìs} “no one” as the subject of the present middle/passive indicative dynatai {δύναται | dý-na-tai} “is able,” followed by the infinitive douleuein {δουλεύειν | dou-léu-ein} “to serve” governing the dative dual noun phrase dysi kyriois {δυσὶ κυρίοις | dú-si kú-ri-ois} “two masters.”
In context — Luke 16:13
No household servant is able to serve two masters, for he will either hate the one and love the other, or he will hold to one and despise the other. You are not able to serve God and mammon .
