Matthew 5:14-18

14“You are 1the lightG5457 of the worldG2889. A cityG4172 setG2749 on a 2hillG3735 cannotG1410 G3756 be hiddenG2928; 15 3norG3761 does anyone lightG2545 a lampG3088 and putG5087 it underG5259 a 4basketG3426, 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 5seeG3708 your goodG2570 worksG2041, and 6glorifyG1392 your FatherG3962 who is in heavenG3772.

17“Do not thinkG3543 that I cameG2064 to abolishG2647 the 7LawG3551 orG2228 the ProphetsG4396; I did not comeG2064 to abolishG2647 but to fulfillG4137. 18For trulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, 8untilG2193 heavenG3772 and earthG1093 passG3928 awayG3928, not 9the smallestG1520 letterG2503 orG2228 strokeG2762 shall passG3928 from the LawG3551 untilG2193 allG3956 is accomplishedG1096.
