5:13 Being salt and light

(Mark 9:50, Luke 14:34-35)

13 [ref]“You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt is made tasteless, what would you all use to salt your food? The salt wouldn’t be useful for anything anymore and would just get thrown out and trampled on by the people.

14 [ref]“You are the light of the world. A city up on a hill can’t be hidden. 15 [ref]No one lights a lamp and puts it under a basket—you put it on a lampstand and it lightens up the house. 16 [ref]In the same way, let your light shine in front of everyone, so that they can see your good behaviour and then might praise your father in the heavens.

5:13: Mrk 9:50; Luk 14:34-35.

5:14: Jn 8:12; 9:5.

5:15: Mrk 4:21; Luk 8:16; 11:33.

5:16: 1Pe 2:12.

13 You _all are the salt of _the earth, but if the salt may _be _made _tasteless, with what it _will _be _being _salted?
It _is _being _effective for nothing anymore, except not/lest having _been _throw out, to _be _being _trampled by the people.
14 You _all are the light of _the world.
A_city lying on a_mountain is_ not _able to _be _hidden.
15 And _not they _are _lighting a_lamp and are _putting it under the a_basket, but on the lampstand, and it _is _shining for _all the ones in the house.
16 Thus let_ the light of _you _all _shine before the people, so _that they _may _see the good works of _you _all, and may _glorify the father of _you _all which in the heavens.
