2. Matthew 5:13
“You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has
lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be
restored? It is no longer good for anything
except to be thrown out and trampled
under people’s feet.

3. Matthew 5:14-16
You are the light of the world. A city set on
a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people
light a lamp and put it under a basket, but
on a stand, and it gives light to all in the
house. In the same way, let your light shine
before others, so that they may see your
good works and give glory to your Father
who is in heaven.”
