Matthew 5:13-20

13Ye areG1510 the saltG217 of the earthG1093; but if the saltG217 have becomeG3471 insipid, wherewith shall it beG1510 saltedG233? It isG1510 noG3762 longerG2089 fit for anything but to beG1510 castG906 out and to beG1510 trodden under foot by menG444.

14Ye areG1510 the lightG5457 of the worldG2889: a cityG4172 situated on the top of a mountainG3735 cannot beG1510 hidG2928.

15Nor do [men] light a lampG3088 and putG5087 it under the bushel, but upon the lamp-stand, and it shinesG2989 for all who are in the houseG3614.

16Let your lightG5457 thusG3779 shineG2989 before menG444, so that they may seeG3708 your upright worksG2041, and glorifyG1392 your FatherG3962 who is in the heavensG3772.

17ThinkG3543 not that I am comeG2064 to make void the lawG3551 or the prophetsG4396; I am not comeG2064 to make void, but to fulfil.

18For verily I sayG3004 unto you, Until the heavenG3772 and the earthG1093 passG3928 awayG3928, oneG1520 iota or oneG1520 tittle shall in no wise passG3928 from the lawG3551 till all comeG1096 to passG3928.

19Whosoever then shall do away with oneG1520 of these leastG1646 commandmentsG1785, and shall teachG1321 menG444 so, shall be calledG2564 leastG1646 in the kingdomG932 of the heavensG3772; but whosoever shall practise and teachG1321 [them], he shall be calledG2564 greatG3173 in the kingdomG932 of the heavensG3772.

20For I sayG3004 unto you, that unless your righteousnessG1343 surpass [that] of the scribesG1122 and PhariseesG5330, ye shall in no wise enterG1525 into the kingdomG932 of the heavensG3772.
