Salt and Light

13“You are the salt of the earth, kbut 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.

14l“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15mNor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. 16In the same way, let your light shine before others, so nthat2 they may see your good works and ogive glory to your Father who is in heaven.
