Exegesis
In the second, the genitive phrase henos {ἑνὸς | he-nòs} “of one” with anthexetai {ἀνθέξεται | an-thé-xe-tai} “he will hold to” mirrors tou heterou {τοῦ ἑτέρου | toû he-té-rou} “of the other” with kataphronēsei {καταφρονήσει | ka-ta-phro-nḗ-sei} “he will despise,” demonstrating chiastic parallelism.
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 .
