Matthew 6:23-25
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
23 But if your eye is unsound, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the very light in you [your [a]conscience] is darkened, how dense is that darkness!
24 No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will stand by and be devoted to the one and despise and be [b]against the other. You cannot serve God and mammon ([c]deceitful riches, money, possessions, or [d]whatever is trusted in).
25 Therefore I tell you, stop being [e]perpetually uneasy (anxious and worried) about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink; or about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life greater [in quality] than food, and the body [far above and more excellent] than clothing?
