New American Standard Bible 1995
Matthew 5:14-18
14“You are 1the light of the world. A city set on a 2hill cannot be hidden; 153nor 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.
17“Do not think that I came to abolish the 7Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill. 18For truly I say to you, 8until heaven and earth pass away, not 9the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished.
