eyes

²²The lamp of your body is your eye. If your eye is wholesome, your entire body will be filled with light.

³I will not display any unjust thing before my eyes. I have hated those carrying out betrayals.

⁷And the Lord said to Samuel: “You should not look with favor on his face, nor on the height of his stature. For I have rejected him. Neither do I judge by the appearance of a man. For man sees those things that are apparent, but the Lord beholds the heart.”

¹⁸Reveal to my eyes, and I will consider the wonders of your law.

¹⁷And when Elisha had prayed, he said, “O Lord, open the eyes of this one, so that he may see.” And the Lord opened the eyes of the servant, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire, all around Elisha.

³³No one lights a candle and places it in hiding, nor under a bushel basket, but upon a lampstand, so that those who enter may see the light. ³⁴Your eye is the light of your body. If your eye is wholesome, your entire body will be filled with light. But if it is wicked, then even your body will be darkened. ³⁵Therefore, take care, lest the light that is within you become darkness. ³⁶So then, if your entire body becomes filled with light, not having any part in darkness, then it will be entirely light, and, like a shining lamp, it will illuminate you.”

²⁸But I say to you, that anyone who will have looked at a woman, so as to lust after her, has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

¹²The hearing ear and the seeing eye: the Lord has made them both.

²⁵Next he placed his hands again over his eyes, and he began to see. And he was restored, so that he could see everything clearly.

²⁹And if your right eye causes you to sin, root it out and cast it away from you. For it is better for you that one of your members perish, than that your whole body be cast into Hell.

¹⁶I have not ceased giving thanks for you, calling you to mind in my prayers, ¹⁷so that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give a spirit of wisdom and of revelation to you, in knowledge of him. ¹⁸May the eyes of your heart be illuminated, so that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and the wealth of the glory of his inheritance with the saints, ¹⁹and the preeminent magnitude of his virtue toward us, toward we who believe in accord with the work of his powerful virtue, ²⁰which he wrought in Christ, raising him from the dead and establishing him at his right hand in the heavens, ²¹above every principality and power and virtue and dominion, and above every name that is given, not only in this age, but even in the future age.

⁴To lift up the eyes is to enlarge the heart. The lamp of the impious is sin.
