Gospel of Matthew 5:13-20
The Sermon on the Mount [Part 2] - Let Your Light Shine before Men
You are the salt of the earth: but if the salt has lost its flavor, what can be salted with it? it is good for nothing except to be cast out and trodden under foot.
You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid.
Neither do men light a lamp, and put it under a basket, but on a lamp stand; and it shines on all that are in the house. Just so, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
Think not that I came to destroy the law or the prophets: I came not to destroy, but to fulfil. For truly I say to you: 'Til heaven and earth pass away, not one jot or one tittle shall pass away from the law, until all things are accomplished.
Therefore, Whoever breaks one of the least commandments, and teaches men to do so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven: but whoever obeys and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
For I say to you, that except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
