Conversation evil as well as heart
Yes, if your eye is not single, if you seek any of the things of earth, you shall be full of ungodliness and unrighteousness, your desires, tempers, affections being all out of course, being all dark and vile and vain. And your conduct will be evil as well as your heart, not seasoned with salt or fit to minister grace to the hearers (Ephesians 4:29), but idle, unprofitable, corrupt, grievous to the Holy Spirit of God.

Yea, if thine eye be not single, if thou seek any of the things of earth, thou shalt be full of ungodliness and unrighteousness: thy desires, tempers, affections, being all out of course, being all dark, and vile, and vain. And thy conversation will be evil, as well as thy heart, not seasoned with salt, or meet to minister grace unto the hearers, but idle, unprofitable, corrupt, grievous to the Holy Spirit of God.
