Chapter 5 (Continued)

You are the salt of the earth.
But if the salt loses its saltiness,
how can it be made salty again?
It is no longer good for anything,
except to be thrown out and trampled by men.

You are the light of the world
A city on a hill cannot be hidden.
Neither do people light a lamp
and put it under a bowl.
Instead they put it on its stand,
and it gives light
to everyone in the house.
In the same way,
let your light shine before men,
that they may see your good deeds
and praise your Father in heaven.

Do not think that I have come to abolish
the Law or the Prophets;
I have not come to abolish them
but to fulfill them.
I tell you the truth,
until heaven and earth disappear,
not the smallest letter,
not the least stroke of a pen,
will by any means disappear from the Law
until everything is accomplished.
Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments
and teaches others to do the same
shall be called least
in the kingdom of heaven,
but whoever practices
and teaches these commands
will be called great
in the kingdom of heaven.

5:13-20
