3 Nephi 13





Repeating His teachings to His followers in the New World, verses 22 and 23 speak of light in our eyes, and how if our eyes are single (to the Glory of God, according to D&C 88:67) then our bodies will be filled with light.  These verses are sandwiched between verses that speak of treasure and verses that speak of serving God instead of Mammon (see verses 19 – 24).  The placement of the verses about light indicate perhaps that the correct attitude and use of money can be a way to keep our eyes single to God.  As to what the correct attitude and use of money might be, see verse 24 which states “Ye cannot serve God and Mammon.”
