1. Matthew 5:13-16
• You are the salt of the earth. But
if the salt loses its saltiness, how
can it be made salty again? It is
no longer good for anything,
except to be thrown out and
trampled underfoot. You are the
light of the world. A town built on
a hill cannot be hidden.
2. Matthew 5:13-16
• Neither do people light a lamp and

to everyone in the house. In the
same way, let your light shine
before others, that they may see
your good deeds and glorify your
Father in heaven.
