Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

You Are Salt And Light. Salt Must Be Tasty. Light Must Shine

¹³ “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt should become-tasteless, with what will it be salted^[a]? It no longer has strength for anything except, having been thrown outside, to be trampled-underfoot by people. ¹⁴ You are the light of the world. A city lying on a hill is not able to be hidden. ¹⁵ Nor do they burn a lamp and put it under the basket, but on the lampstand— and it shines on all the ones in the house. ¹⁶ In this manner, let your light shine in front of people so that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in the heavens.

I Came To Fulfill The Law. Your Righteousness Must Abound More Than The Pharisees

¹⁷ “Do not think that I came to abolish^[b] the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill^[c]. ¹⁸ For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, one iota^[d] or one stroke^[e] will by no means pass away from the Law until all things take-place^[f]. ¹⁹ Therefore, whoever breaks^[g] one of the least of these commandments and in this manner teaches people— he will be called least in the kingdom of the heavens. But whoever does and teaches them— this one will be called great in the kingdom of the heavens. ²⁰ For I say to you that unless your righteousness abounds more^[h] than [that of] the scribes and Pharisees, you will by-no-means^[i] enter into the kingdom of the heavens!
