Luke 11:33-36

Expanded Bible

Be a Light for the World^(A)

³³ “No one lights a lamp and puts it in a ·secret place [cellar] or under a ·bowl [or basket], but on a lampstand so the people who come in can see [^Lthe light; Matt. 5:15; Mark 4:21]. ³⁴ Your eye is ·a light [^Lthe lamp] for the body. When your eyes are ·good [healthy; clear], your whole body will be full of light. But when your eyes are ·evil [unhealthy; bad], your whole body will be full of darkness. ³⁵ So be careful ·not to let the light in you become [or that the light in you is not actually] darkness. ³⁶ If your whole body is full of light, and none of it is dark, then you will ·shine bright [be radiant; be filled with light], as when a lamp shines [brightly; ^Lwith its rays] on you.”
