Matthew 6:23

Arabic SVD 1865 Version (Smith and Van Dyke)

وان كانت عينك شريرة فجسدك كله يكون مظلما. فان كان النور الذي فيك ظلاما فالظلام كم يكون

ما معنى هذا؟

This verse is from Jesus in the Bible and it says that if your eye, meaning your view or attitude, is bad, then everything you do will be wrong too. It means having a negative mindset can make all of life dark.

شرح للأطفال

Imagine your eyes are like the windows to your mind. If those windows get dirty or broken, even when it's sunny outside, inside it feels dark and gloomy. Jesus is saying that if you have a bad attitude, everything else in your life will feel sad too!
