Disciples and the World

You are the salt of the earth;
but if the salt has become tasteless,
how will it be made salty again?
It is good for nothing anymore,
except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men.

Disciples and the World

You are the light of the world.
A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.

Disciples and the World

Nor do men light a lamp,
and put it under the peck-measure,
but on the lampstand;
and it gives light to all who are in the house.

E12 Good Works

Let your light shine before men
in such a way that they may see your good works,
and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

Disciples and the World

Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets;
I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill.

Disciples and the World

For truly I say to you,
until heaven and earth pass away,
not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass away from the Law,
until all is accomplished.

Disciples and the World

Whoever then annuls
one of the least of these commandments,
and so teaches others,
shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven;
but whoever keeps and teaches them,
he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Disciples and the World

For I say to you,
that unless your righteousness
surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees,
you shall not enter the kingdom of heaven.
