^11 (A)Beloved, ^(B)I urge you as ^(C)foreigners and strangers to abstain from ^(D)fleshly lusts, which wage ^(E)war against the soul.

Disciples and the World

¹³ “You are the salt of the earth; but ^(A)if the salt has become tasteless, how ^[a]can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by people.

¹⁴ “You are ^(B)the light of the world. A city set on a ^[b]hill cannot be hidden; ^15 (C)nor do people light a lamp and put it under a ^[c]basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. ¹⁶ Your light must shine before people in such a way that they may ^(D)see your good works, and ^(E)glorify your Father who is in heaven.

^19 [a](A)Go, therefore, and ^(B)make disciples of ^(C)all the nations, ^(D)baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,

¹⁵ And He said to them, “^(A)Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.

⁸ but you will receive power ^(A)when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be ^(B)My witnesses both in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and ^(C)Samaria, and as far as ^(D)the remotest part of the earth.”

¹³ for “^(A)Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

¹⁴ How then are they to call on Him in whom they have not believed? How are they to believe in Him ^(B)whom they have not heard? And how are they to hear without ^(C)a preacher? ¹⁵ But how are they to preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written: “^(D)How beautiful are the feet of those who ^[a](E)bring good news of good things!”

¹⁷ So faith comes from ^(A)hearing, and hearing by ^(B)the word ^[a]of Christ.
