Bible Study Tuesdays

Here is the link to the commentary.

Unfortunately I did not have time this week to do questions or add thoughts of my own. Just one note from Matthew Henry on vs. 22-23....

The eye, that is, the heart (so some) if that be single—haplous—free and bountiful (so the word is frequently rendered, as Rom. 12:8; 2 Co. 8:2, 9:11, 13; Jam. 1:5, and we read of a bountiful eye, Prov. 22:9). If the heart be liberally affected and stand inclined to goodness and charity, it will direct the man to Christian actions, the whole conversation will be full of light, full of evidences and instances of true Christianity, that pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father (Jam. 1:27), full of light, of good works, which are our light shining before men; but if the heart be evil, covetous, and hard, and envious, griping and grudging (such a temper of mind is often expressed by an evil eye, ch. 20:15; Mk. 7:22; Prov. 23:6, 7), the body will be full of darkness, the whole conversation will be heathenish and unchristian.

Hope you had a great Tuesday!
Blessings,
Liisa
