¹³You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt lose its savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is good for nothing anymore but to be cast out, and to be trodden on by men.

¹⁴You are the light of the world. A city seated on a mountain cannot be hid.

¹⁵Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but upon a candlestick, that it may shine to all that are in the house.

¹⁶So let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

¹⁷Do not think that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets. I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

¹⁸For amen I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot, or one tittle shall not pass of the law, till all be fulfilled.

¹⁹He therefore that shall break one of these least commandments, and shall so teach men shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. But he that shall do and teach, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

²⁰For I tell you, that unless your justice abound more than that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Read in Logos

Matthew 5:13: ...You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet.
