  3. Matthew 6:22-23 – “The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light.”
  4. Ephesians 4:29 – “Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.”
  5. Psalm 101:3 – “I will not set before my eyes anything that is worthless. I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cling to me.”
