Luke 11:34-35

11:34 Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is healthy, ¹  your whole body is full of light, but when it is diseased, ²  your body is full of darkness. 11:35 Therefore see to it ³  that the light in you ⁴  is not darkness.

[11:34]  ¹ tn Or “sound” (so L&N 23.132 and most scholars). A few scholars take this word to mean something like “generous” here (L&N 57.107), partly due to the immediate context of this saying in Matt 6:22 which concerns money, in which case the “eye” is a metonymy for the entire person (“if you are generous”).

[11:34]  ² tn Or “when it is sick” (L&N 23.149).

[11:35]  ³ tn This is a present imperative, calling for a constant watch (L&N 24.32; ExSyn 721).

[11:35]  ⁴ sn Here you is a singular pronoun, individualizing the application.
