Matthew 6:21-23
1599 Geneva Bible
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
22 ¶ (A)[a]The light of the body is the eye: if then thine [b]eye be single, thy whole body shall be light.
23 But if thine eye be wicked, then all thy body shall be dark. Wherefore if the light that is in thee, be darkness, how great is that darkness?
