Light And Darkness

34 The light of thy body is the eye. Therefore, when thine eye is single: then is all thy body full of light. But if thine eye be evil: then shall all thy body also be full of darkness. 35 Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee, be not darkness. 36 For if all thy body shall be light, having no part dark: then shall all be full of light, even as when a candle doeth light thee with his brightness."
