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.

³⁴ “Therefore, salt is good; but ^(A)if even salt has become tasteless, with what will it be ^[a]seasoned? ³⁵ It is useless either for the soil or the manure pile, so it is thrown out. ^(B)The one who has ears to hear, ^[b]let him hear.”
