Matthew 6:22-25

22“1The eye is the lamp of the body; so then, if your eye is 2clear, your whole body will be full of light. 23But if 3your eye is 4bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. So if the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!

24“5No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and 6 7wealth.

25“8For this reason I say to you, 9do not be 10worried about your 11life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is life not more than food, and the body more than clothing?
