Luke 11:33-36
Christian Standard Bible
The Lamp of the Body
33 “No(A) one lights a lamp(B) and puts it in the cellar or under a basket,[a] but on a lampstand, so that those who come in may see its light. 34 Your eye is the lamp of the body.(C) When your eye is healthy, your whole body is also full of light. But when it is bad,(D) your body is also full of darkness. 35 Take care, then, that the light in you is not darkness. 36 If, therefore, your whole body is full of light, with no part of it in darkness, it will be entirely illuminated, as when a lamp shines its light on you.”

The Light of the Body
33 “No one after lighting a lamp puts it in a cellar or under a bushel basket;[a] rather, one puts it on the lampstand so that those who enter may see the light.(A) 34 Your eye is the lamp of your body. If your eye is healthy, your whole body is full of light, but if it is unhealthy, your body is full of darkness.(B) 35 Therefore consider whether the light in you is not darkness. 36 But if your whole body is full of light, with no part of it in darkness, it will be as full of light as when a lamp gives you light with its rays.”
