Matthew 6:22

The lamp of the body (light source – Gk. luchnos) is the eye. [The eye reflects the attitude of the heart.]
If your eye is healthy (clear, focused, generous)
then your whole body will be full of light.
[In a pure heart with pure motives, God's light flows in all areas, see Eph. 1:18. The word healthy can also mean generous, see James 1:5. This contrasts with a "sick" eye in the next verse. A healthy eye is generous toward others. The word sound also means unclouded and focused. Since verse 24 talks about not being able to serve two masters, it is about serving God wholeheartedly. The same word for lamp is also used in Matt. 5:15, see also Prov 20:27.]
