Matthew 5:15 in context

  1. 13“You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has lost its flavor, with what will it be salted? It is then good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under the feet of men.
  2. 14You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can’t be hidden.
  3. 15Neither do you light a lamp, and put it under a measuring basket, but on a stand; and it shines to all who are in the house.
  4. 16Even so, let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
  5. 17“Don’t think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I didn’t come to destroy, but to fulfill.
