16holding fast the word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain or labored in vain.

17Yes, and if I am being poured out as a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all.

18For the same reason you also be glad and rejoice with me.

19But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you shortly, that I also may be encouraged when I know your state.

20For I have no one like-minded, who will sincerely care for your state.

21For all seek their own, not the things which are of Christ Jesus.

22But you know his proven character, that as a son with his father he served with me in the gospel.

23Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it goes with me.

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.
