Salt and Light

¹³ “You are the salt of the earth, ^(A)but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet.

^14 (B)“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. ^15 (C)Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. ¹⁶ In the same way, let your light shine before others, so ^(D)that^[a] they may see your good works and ^(E)give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

^50 (A)Salt is good, ^(B)but if the salt has lost its saltiness, how will you make it salty again? ^(C)Have salt in yourselves, and ^(D)be at peace with one another.”

¹⁵ And let ^(A)the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called ^(B)in one body. And ^(C)be thankful. ¹⁶ Let ^(D)the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, ^(E)singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, ^(F)with thankfulness in your hearts to God. ¹⁷ And ^(G)whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, ^(H)giving thanks to God the Father through him.

²² But ^(A)the fruit of the Spirit is ^(B)love, joy, peace, patience, ^(C)kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ^23 (D)gentleness, ^(E)self-control; ^(F)against such things there is no law.
