Luke

Luke 11:34–36

³⁴Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are good,^f your whole body also is full of light. But when they are bad,^g your body is full of darkness. ³⁵Be careful, then, that the light within you is not darkness. ³⁶So if your whole body is full of light, with no part of it in darkness, you will be radiant, as though a lamp were shining on you.”
