“Get dressed for service and keep your lamps burning;

People do not light a lamp and put it under a basket but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house.

“The eye is the lamp of the body. If then your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light.

He also said to them, “A lamp isn’t brought to be put under a basket or under a bed, is it? Isn’t it to be placed on a lampstand?

“No one after lighting a lamp puts it in a hidden place or under a basket, but on a lampstand, so that those who come in can see the light.

Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is full of light, but when it is diseased, your body is full of darkness.

If then your whole body is full of light, with no part in the dark, it will be as full of light as when the light of a lamp shines on you.”

Moreover, we possess the prophetic word as an altogether reliable thing. You do well if you pay attention to this as you would to a light shining in a murky place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.

The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, because the glory of God lights it up, and its lamp is the Lamb.

Night will be no more, and they will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, because the Lord God will shine on them, and they will reign forever and ever.

Even the light from a lamp will never shine in you again! The voices of the bridegroom and his bride will never be heard in you again. For your merchants were the tycoons of the world, because all the nations were deceived by your magic spells!
