Matthew 5:14 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 5:14

12 ^aRejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for ^bso they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Believers Are Salt and Light

13 “You are the salt of the earth; ^abut if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.

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

15 Nor do they ^alight a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.

16 Let your light so shine before men, ^athat they may see your good works and ^bglorify your Father in heaven.
