Lukas 11:35-36

11:35 Therefore see to it ¹  that the light in you ²  is not darkness. 11:36 If ³  then ⁴  your whole body is full of light, with no part in the dark, ⁵  it will be as full of light as when the light of a lamp shines on you.” ⁶ 

[11:35]  ¹ tn This is a present imperative, calling for a constant watch (L&N 24.32; ExSyn 721).

[11:35]  ² sn Here you is a singular pronoun, individualizing the application.

[11:36]  ³ tn This is a first class condition in the Greek text, so the example ends on a hopeful, positive note.

[11:36]  ⁴ tn Grk “Therefore”; the same conjunction as at the beginning of v. 35, but since it indicates a further inference or conclusion, it has been translated “then” here.

[11:36]  ⁵ tn Grk “not having any part dark.”

[11:36]  ⁶ tn Grk “it will be completely illumined as when a lamp illumines you with its rays.”
