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(A)

33 “No one lights a lamp and puts it in a hiding place[a] or under a basket,[b] but on a lamp stand, so that those who enter may see its light. 34 Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is full of light. But when it’s evil, your body is full of darkness. 35 Therefore, be careful that the light in you isn’t darkness. 36 Now 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.”
