But if your eye is evil, your whole body shall be full of darkness. If your eye is evil: we see there is no medium between a single and an evil eye. If the eye is not single, then it is evil. If the intention in whatever we do is not singly to God, if we seek anything else, then our mind and conscience are defiled (Titus 1:15).

If the intention, in whatever we do, be not singly to God, if we seek any thing else, then our mind and conscience are defiled.
