New American Standard Bible 1995

Matthew 5:14-16

14“You are 1the light of the world. A city set on a 2hill cannot be hidden; 15 3nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a 4basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may 5see your good works, and 6glorify your Father who is in heaven.
