And if you only greet your brothers, what more do you do? Even the Gentiles do the same, don’t they?

But if you do not forgive others, your Father will not forgive you your sins.p>

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;The eye is the lamp of the body. If then your eye is healthy,<n id="1" /> your whole body will be full of light.

In<n id="1" /> everything, treat others as you would want them<n id="2" /> to treat you,<n id="3" /> for this fulfills<n id="4" /> the law and the prophets.p>

(For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they perform a ritual washing,<n id="1" /> holding fast to the tradition of the elders.

And when they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they wash. They hold fast to many other traditions: the washing of cups, pots, kettles, and dining couches.<n id="1" />)<n id="2" />

If I send them home hungry, they will faint on the way, and some of them have come from a great distance.&#8221;

Salt<n id="1" /> is good, but if it loses its saltiness,<n id="2" /> how can you make it salty again? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with each other.&#8221;p>
