13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost its savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under foot of men [_see 14 Mark 9:50; Jesus often repeated his sayings_]. Ye are the light of 15 the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid. Neither do _men_ light a lamp, and put it under the bushel, but on the stand; and it shineth unto all that are in the house [_see Mark 4:21; Luke 16 8:16_]. Even so let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. 17 Think not that I came to destroy the law or the prophets: I came 18 not to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise 19 pass away from the law, till all things be accomplished. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, he shall be called great in the 20 kingdom of heaven. For I say unto you, that except your righteousness shall exceed _the righteousness_ of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven. _3.
