Matthew 5:14-16
New English Translation

14 You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 People[a] do not light a lamp and put it under a basket[b] but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before people, so that they can see your good deeds and give honor to your Father in heaven.
