Matthew 5:13–20

Disciples and the World

13 You are the salt of the earth; but aif the salt has become tasteless, how 1can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men.

14 You are athe light of the world. A city set on a 1hill cannot be hidden;

15 anor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a 1basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.

16 Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may asee your good works, and bglorify your Father who is in heaven.

17 Do not think that I came to abolish the aLaw or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill.

18 For truly I say to you, auntil heaven and earth pass away, not 1the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished.

19 Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and teaches 1others to do the same, shall be called least ain the kingdom of heaven; but whoever 2keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

20 For I say to you that unless your arighteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.
