Matthew 5:14-16

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

15 ²nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.

16 "Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may ³see your good works, and ⁴glorify your Father who is in heaven.
