The Light in You

33 (A)“No one after lighting a lamp puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, so that those who enter may see the light. 34 Your eye is (B)the lamp of your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is full of light, but when it is (C)bad, your body is full of darkness. 35 (D)Therefore be careful lest the light in you be darkness. 36 If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly bright, (E)as when a lamp with its rays gives you light.”

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.”
