Matthew 5:16

The Sermon On The Mount: Salt And Light

¹⁵ Neither do men burn a lamp, and set it under a bushel, but on its stand; and it sheds light on all that are in the house. ¹⁶ Just so let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in the heavens. ¹⁷ Think not that I am come to destroy the law and the prophets: I came not to destroy, but to fulfil.
