Luke 11:35

35 Therefore pay careful attention [that] the light in you is not darkness!

Luke 11:35 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 11:35

Take heed therefore
By attending to the light of the Gospel, shining in the ministration of it, and do not neglect and despise it:

that the light which is in thee be not darkness;
lest being given up to a judicial blindness and hardness of heart, not only the light of nature, which the Jews had in common with the Gentiles, but even that notional light and knowledge of divine things, which they had by being favoured with an external revelation, the writings of the Old Testament, should be lost.

Luke 11:35 In-Context

33 "No one [after] lighting a lamp puts [it] in a cellar or under a bushel basket, but on a lampstand, so that those who come in can see the light.

34 Your eye is the lamp of the body. When your eye is sincere, your whole body is full of light also. But when it is evil, your body [is] dark also.

35 Therefore pay careful attention [that] the light in you is not darkness!

36 If therefore your whole body [is] full of light, not having any part dark, it will be completely full of light, as when the lamp with [its] light gives light to you."

37 And as he was speaking, a Pharisee asked him {to have a meal} with him, and he went in [and] reclined at table.
