14:34 Salt . . . if it loses its flavor: Sodium chloride cannot actually lose its saltiness. Jesus might be speaking hypothetically (if salt were to lose), or he might be referring to a combination of minerals that included salt. The salt around the Dead Sea was a mixture of sodium chloride and other minerals. When the sodium chloride was removed, what was left behind was “salt” without saltiness.

To help the people in the crowd understand what he has been teaching, Jesus provides an illustration. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: “Then Jesus gave the crowd this illustration to help them understand. ‘Salt is certainly useful’”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἐὰν & καὶ τὸ ἅλας μωρανθῇ
if & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καλὸν οὖν τὸ ἅλας ἐὰν δὲ τὸ ἅλας μωρανθῇ ἐν τίνι ἀρτυθήσεται)
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form. Alternate translation: “if something indeed causes salt to lose its flavor”

ἐν τίνι ἀρτυθήσεται?
with what ˱it˲_/will_be_being/_seasoned
