Matthew 5:12 in Context — Matthew 5
10 Bienaventurados los que padecen persecución por causa de la justicia: porque de ellos es el reino de los cielos.
11 Bienaventurados sois cuando os vituperaren y os persiguieren, y dijeren de vosotros todo mal por mi causa, mintiendo.
12 Gozaos y alegraos; porque vuestra merced es grande en los cielos: que así persiguieron á los profetas que fueron antes de vosotros.
13 Vosotros sois la sal de la tierra: y si la sal se desvaneciere ¿con qué será salada? no vale más para nada, sino para ser echada fuera y hollada de los hombres.
14 Vosotros sois la luz del mundo: una ciudad asentada sobre un monte no se puede esconder.
