Matt 6:22 · Douay-Rheims
“The light of thy body is thy eye. If thy eye be single, thy whole body shall be lightsome.”
On this verse:
“(Mor. xxviii. 11.) Otherwise; if the light that is in thee, that is, if what we have begun to do well, we overcloud with evil purpose, when we do things which we know to be in themselves evil, how great is the darkness!”
