  ¹⁶holding up the word of life, that I may have something to boast in the day of Christ, that I didn’t run in vain nor labor in vain.

  ¹⁷Yes, and if I am poured out on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice, and rejoice with you all.

  ¹⁸In the same way, you also rejoice, and rejoice with me.

  ¹⁹But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered up when I know how you are doing.

  ²⁰For I have no one else like-minded, who will truly care about you.

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

  ²²But you know the proof of him, that as a child serves a father, so he served with me in furtherance of the Good News.

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

  ³⁴The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore when your eye is good, your whole body is also full of light; but when it is evil, your body also is full of darkness.

  ³⁵Therefore see whether the light that is in you isn’t darkness.

  ³⁶If therefore your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly full of light, as when the lamp with its bright shining gives you light.”

  ³⁷Now as he spoke, a certain Pharisee asked him to dine with him. He went in, and sat at the table.

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

  ³⁹The Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness.

  ⁴⁰You foolish ones, didn’t he who made the outside make the inside also?

  ⁴¹But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and behold, all things will be clean to you.
