Matthew 5:13–20

¹³Ye are the salt of the earth: ^pbut if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. ^14qYe are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. ¹⁵Neither do men ^rlight a candle, and put it under ^||a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. ¹⁶Let your light so shine before men, ^sthat they may see your good works, and ^stglorify your Father which is in heaven.

^17uThink not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. ¹⁸For verily I say unto you, ^xTill heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. ^19yWhosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. ²⁰For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed ^zthe righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
