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 isG2480 noG3762 longerG2089 goodG2480 for anythingG3762, exceptG1508 to be thrownG906 out and trampledG2662 underfootG2662 by peopleG444.

14“You are 3the lightG5457 of the worldG2889. A cityG4172 setG2749 on a 4hillG3735 cannotG1410G3756 be hiddenG2928; 155norG3761 do people lightG2545 a lampG3088 and putG5087 it underG5259 a 6basketG3426, but on the lampstandG3087, and it givesG2989 lightG2989 to allG3956 who are in the houseG3614. 16Your lightG5457 must shineG2989 beforeG1715 peopleG444 inG3779 suchG3779 aG3779 wayG3779 that they may 7seeG3708 your goodG2570 worksG2041, and 8glorifyG1392 your FatherG3962 who is in heavenG3772.
