Salt and Light
5:13 “You are the salt of the earth . But if salt loses its flavor , how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled on by people .
5:14 You are the light of the world . A city located on a hill cannot be hidden .
5:15 People do not light a lamp and put it under a basket but on a lampstand , and it gives light to all in the house .
5:16 In the same way , let your light shine before people , so that they can see your good deeds and give honor to your Father in heaven .
