Greek noun 3126 mamonas is of Chaldean origin and means confidence in flesh physical things as expressed in “Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal” “But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal” “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also”. “If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches”? Money is one of a plethora of flesh physical things flesh human beings have confidence in, to the detriment of aforementioned “true riches” which are our aforementioned spiritual “treasures in heaven”.

God performs the action of Greek verb 4100 pisteuo. God’s grammatical objects receive the action of Greek verb 4100 pisteuo. Greek verb 4100 pisteuo and Greek noun 4102 pistis translated into various tenses of English “believe” and “faith” both stem from Greek verb 3982 peitho meaning to persuade. Grammatical subjects other than God persuade their grammatical objects to believe ludicrous things. Greek verb 3982 peitho was translated into English “persuaded” in Matthew 27:20 “But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus”. The “chief priests” and church “elders” were the grammatical subjects who “persuaded” their grammatical objects “the multitude” to “destroy Jesus”. The “multitude” believed and had faith in the flesh physical “chief priests” and church “elders”.
