Salt and Light
13 “You are the salt of the earth; but (A)if the salt has become tasteless, how will it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out to be trampled under foot by men.
14 “You are (B)the light of the world. A city set on a [a]hill cannot be hidden; 15 (C)nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a [b]basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.

Matthew 5:13-15
King James Version
13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but 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.
14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
