«Eye» / Симфония / New Living

So if your eye — even your good eye — causes you to lust, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.

38 “You have heard the law that says the punishment must match the injury: ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’

“Your eye is like a lamp that provides light for your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is filled with light.

But when your eye is unhealthy, your whole body is filled with darkness. And if the light you think you have is actually darkness, how deep that darkness is!

“And why worry about a speck in your friend’s eye when you have a log in your own?

How can you think of saying to your friend, ‘Let me help you get rid of that speck in your eye,’ when you can’t see past the log in your own eye?

Hypocrite! First get rid of the log in your own eye; then you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your friend’s eye.

And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It’s better to enter eternal life with only one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.

I’ll say it again — it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God!”

And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out. It’s better to enter the Kingdom of God with only one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell,

In fact, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God!”

Saul, also known as Paul, was filled with the Holy Spirit, and he looked the sorcerer in the eye.

That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.”

And if the ear says, “I am not part of the body because I am not an eye,” would that make it any less a part of the body?

If the whole body were an eye, how would you hear? Or if your whole body were an ear, how would you smell anything?

The eye can never say to the hand, “I don’t need you.” The head can’t say to the feet, “I don’t need you.”

It will happen in a moment, in the blink of an eye, when the last trumpet is blown. For when the trumpet sounds, those who have died will be raised to live forever. And we who are living will also be transformed.

He alone can never die, and he lives in light so brilliant that no human can approach him. No human eye has ever seen him, nor ever will. All honor and power to him forever! Amen.

an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a hand for a hand, a foot for a foot,

“If a man hits his male or female slave in the eye and the eye is blinded, he must let the slave go free to compensate for the eye.

or is hunchbacked or dwarfed, or has a defective eye, or skin sores or scabs, or damaged testicles.

a fracture for a fracture, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Whatever anyone does to injure another person must be paid back in kind.

You must show no pity for the guilty! Your rule should be life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.

1 One day when Samson was in Timnah, one of the Philistine women caught his eye.

When he returned home, he told his father and mother, “A young Philistine woman in Timnah caught my eye. I want to marry her. Get her for me.”

But there were some scoundrels who complained, “How can this man save us?” And they scorned him and refused to bring him gifts. But Saul ignored them. [Nahash, king of the Ammonites, had been grievously oppressing the people of Gad and Reuben who lived east of the Jordan River. He gouged out the right eye of each of the Israelites living there, and he didn’t allow anyone to come and rescue them. In fact, of all the Israelites east of the Jordan, there wasn’t a single one whose right eye Nahash had not gouged out. But there were 7,000 men who had escaped from the Ammonites, and they had settled in Jabesh-gilead.]

“All right,” Nahash said, “but only on one condition. I will gouge out the right eye of every one of you as a disgrace to all Israel!”

So from that time on Saul kept a jealous eye on David.

Must you keep an eye on such a frail creature and demand an accounting from me?

These are treasures no bird of prey can see, no falcon’s eye observe.

signaling their deceit with a wink of the eye, a nudge of the foot, or the wiggle of fingers.

The LORD is watching everywhere, keeping his eye on both the evil and the good.

In the blink of an eye wealth disappears, for it will sprout wings and fly away like an eagle.

The eye that mocks a father and despises a mother’s instructions will be plucked out by ravens of the valley and eaten by vultures.

For since the world began, no ear has heard and no eye has seen a God like you, who works for those who wait for him!

“What sorrow awaits this worthless shepherd who abandons the flock! The sword will cut his arm and pierce his right eye. His arm will become useless, and his right eye completely blind.”
