Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are good, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are bad, your body is full of darkness.
Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.
Be careful, then, that the light within you is not darkness.

So 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.”
