Matthew 5:13-20
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.
17“Do not presumeG3543 that I cameG2064 to abolishG2647 the 9LawG3551 orG2228 the ProphetsG4396; I did not comeG2064 to abolishG2647, but to fulfillG4137. 18For trulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, 10untilG2193 heavenG3772 and earthG1093 passG3928 awayG3928, not 11the smallestG1520 letterG2503 orG2228 strokeG2762 ofG2762 aG2762 letterG2762 shall passG3928 from the LawG3551, untilG2193 allG3956 is accomplishedG1096! 19ThereforeG3767, whoeverG3739G1437 nullifiesG3089 oneG1520 of the leastG1646 of theseG3778 commandmentsG1785, and teachesG1321 12othersG444 to do the sameG3779, shall be calledG2564 leastG1646 13in the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772; but whoeverG3739G302 14keepsG4160 and teachesG1321 them, he shall be calledG2564 greatG3173 in the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772.
20“For I sayG3004 to you that unlessG1437G3361 your 15righteousnessG1343 farG4183 surpassesG4052 that of the scribesG1122 and PhariseesG5330, you will not enterG1525 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772.
