Matthew 5:13-16

13“You are the saltG217 of the earthG1093; but 1ifG1437 the saltG217 has becomeG3471 tastelessG3471, howG1722G5101 2can it be madeG233 saltyG233 again? It is noG3762 longerG2089 goodG2480 for anythingG3762, exceptG1508 to be thrownG906 out and trampledG2662 underG2662 footG2662 by menG444.

14“You are 3the lightG5457 of the worldG2889. A cityG4172 setG2749 on a 4hillG3735 cannotG1410G3756 be hiddenG2928; 155norG3761 does anyone lightG2545 a lampG3088 and putG5087 it underG5259 a 6basketG3426, but on the lampstandG3087, and it givesG2989 lightG2989 to allG3956 who are in the houseG3614. 16Let your lightG5457 shineG2989 beforeG1715 menG444 in suchG3779 a wayG3779 that they may 7seeG3708 your goodG2570 worksG2041, and 8glorifyG1392 your FatherG3962 who is in heavenG3772.
