This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Mat 6:23. Πονηρὸς, evil) sc. shifting, double, inconsistent, imbued with self-love.-τὸ φῶς, the light) which the lamp should give.-τὸ σκότος, the darkness) How great darkness must be the darkness of the whole body![277]-πόσον, how great) As great as the body.
[277] In the original the passage runs thus-
“Tenebr totius corporis, quantæ erunt tenebræ!” and then proceeds,
“Singularis tenebra, veteribus non ignotus, a multis Theologis in loco adhibitus, sæpius conveniret simplicitati hermeneuticæ.”-(I. B.)
