Matthew 5:16

The Sermon On The Mount: Salt And Light

¹⁵ And a burning light is not put under a vessel, but on its table; so that its rays may be shining on all who are in the house. ¹⁶ Even so let your light be shining before men, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven. ¹⁷ Let there be no thought that I have come to put an end to the law or the prophets. I have not come for destruction, but to make complete.
