Matthew 5:16

The Sermon On The Mount: Salt And Light

¹⁵ Nor do men light a candle, to put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick: and then it giveth light to all in the house. ¹⁶  So let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your father, who is in heaven. ¹⁷ Think not that I am come to abrogate the law, or the prophets: I am not come to abolish, but to compleat them:
