But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!

ist aber dein Auge ein Schalk, so wird dein ganzer Leib finster sein. Wenn nun das Licht, das in dir ist, Finsternis ist, wie groß wird dann die Finsternis sein!
Mas si tu ojo fuere malo, todo tu cuerpo será tenebroso. Así que, si la lumbre que en ti hay son tinieblas, ¿cuántas serán las mismas tinieblas?
Pero si tu ojo está enfermo, todo tu cuerpo estará en oscuridad. Si la luz que hay en ti es oscuridad, ¡qué grande es esa oscuridad!
mais si ton oeil est en mauvais état, tout ton corps sera dans les ténèbres. Si donc la lumière qui est en toi est ténèbres, combien seront grandes ces ténèbres!
Ma se l’occhio tuo è viziato, tutto il tuo corpo sarà tenebroso; se dunque il lume ch’è in te è tenebre, quante saranno le tenebre stesse?
Se, porém, os teus olhos forem maus, o teu corpo será tenebroso. Se, portanto, a luz que em ti há são trevas, quão grandes serão tais trevas!
你的眼睛若昏花,全身就黑暗。你裏面的光若黑暗了,那黑暗是何等大呢!」
