Matthew 6:22-24
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
22 The lamp[a] of the body is the eye. Therefore if your eye is single[b], your whole body will be full-of-light[c]. 23 But if your eye is bad[d], your whole body will be full-of-darkness. If then the light in you is darkness[e], how great is the darkness! 24 No one can be serving[f] two masters. For either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted-to one and disregard[g] the other. You cannot be serving God and wealth[h].
