Being salt and light

Mat 5:13–16

Mark 9:50–50

Luke 14:34–35

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.


50[ref]Now salt is good, but if it were to go bad, what would you season your food with then? So keep yourselves like salt, and strive to get on well with each other.


14:34 Worthless followers likened to salt

(Mark 9:50, Mat. 5:13)

34Salt is good, but if it became tasteless, what could you use to make it salty again? 35It’d be no use on the soil or for fertiliser—they’d just have to throw it away. Let any person who wants to hear, listen carefully.
