Matthew 6:22 in Context — Matthew 6

20 Mas ajuntai para vós tesouros no céu, onde nem a traça nem a ferrugem gastam, e onde os ladrões não invadem nem roubam.

21 Porque onde estiver o vosso tesouro, ali estará também o vosso coração.

22 A lâmpada do corpo é o olho; portanto, se o teu olho for puro, todo o teu corpo será cheio de luz.

23 Porém se o teu olho for maligno, todo o teu corpo será cheio de trevas. Assim, se a luz que há em ti são trevas, como são grandes [essas] trevas!

24 Ninguém pode servir a dois senhores; pois ou odiará um e amará outro; ou se apegará a um, e desprezará o outro. Não podeis servir a Deus e às riquezas.
