Matthew 5:16

The Sermon On The Mount: Salt And Light

¹⁵ Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a modius [1.916 gallon measure], but on a candlestick, and it shines to all in the house. ¹⁶  Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works, and glorify your father in heaven. ¹⁷ Think not that I have come to destroy the law or the prophets; I have not come to destroy but to complete.
