6And you became followers of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit,

7so that you became examples to all in Macedonia and Achaia who believe.

8For from you the word of the Lord has sounded forth, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place. Your faith toward God has gone out, so that we do not need to say anything.

9For they themselves declare concerning us what manner of entry we had to you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God,

10and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come.

34The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is good, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye is bad, your body also is full of darkness.

35Therefore take heed that the light which is in you is not darkness.

36If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, the whole body will be full of light, as when the bright shining of a lamp gives you light.'

37And as He spoke, a certain Pharisee asked Him to dine with him. So He went in and sat down to eat.

38When the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that He had not first washed before dinner.

39Then the Lord said to him, 'Now you Pharisees make the outside of the cup and dish clean, but your inward part is full of greed and wickedness.

40Foolish ones! Did not He who made the outside make the inside also?

41But rather give alms of such things as you have; then indeed all things are clean to you.
