Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
Salt is good; but if the salt have lost his saltness—its power to season what it is brought into contact with.
wherewith will ye season it?—How is this property to be restored? See on Matthew 5:13.
Have salt in yourselves—See to it that ye retain in yourselves those precious qualities that will make you a blessing to one another, and to all around you.
and—with respect to the miserable strife out of which all this discourse has sprung, in one concluding word.
have peace one with another—This is repeated in I Thessalonians 5:13.
