Matthew 6:22-24
New American Standard Bible
22 “(A)The eye is the lamp of the body; so then, if your eye is [a]clear, your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if (B)your eye is [b]bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. So if the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!
24 “(C)No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and [c](D)wealth.
