Matthew 5:13-16
Chapter 5
13
Salt and Light. Image of the Disciples: Salt and Light
You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It has become useless. It can only be thrown away, and people will trample on it.14
You are the light of the world. A city built on a mountain cannot be hidden.
15
No one lights a lamp and then covers it; instead, it is placed on a lampstand where it provides light for everyone in the house.
16
In the same way, your light must shine before others so that they may see the good you do and praise your Father in heaven.
