Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a close vessel, but on a candlestick: and it giveth light to all that are in the house.
16
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

Whoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whoever shall do, and teach [them], the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
