“The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.”
Matthew 6:22 (KJV)
Commentary on Matthew 6:22
The metaphor of the eye as the body's lamp teaches that spiritual perception (understanding) affects the whole person. A 'single' eye (Greek 'haplous'—simple, clear, focused) represents undivided devotion to God and results in a life full of light (truth, righteousness, joy). This continues the theme of wholehearted service to God versus divided loyalties. Clear spiritual vision comes from single-minded focus on God's kingdom and righteousness.
