Matthew 5:14-16

14 ¹“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.

15 ²Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house.

16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so ³that^[a] they may see your good works and ⁴give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
