Luke 11:34

Read in context

Luke 11:32–36 · Berean Standard Bible

32 The men of Nineveh will stand at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now One greater than Jonah is here.

33 No one lights a lamp and puts it in a cellar or under a basket. Instead, he sets it on a stand, so those who enter can see the light.

34 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.

35 Be careful, then, that the light within you is not darkness.

36 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.”
