Matthew 5:16 in Context — Matthew 5
14 Vosotros sois la luz del mundo: una ciudad asentada sobre un monte no se puede esconder.
15 Ni se enciende una lámpara y se pone debajo de un almud, mas sobre el candelero, y alumbra á todos los que están en casa.
16 Así alumbre vuestra luz delante de los hombres, para que vean vuestras obras buenas, y glorifiquen á vuestro Padre que está en los cielos.
17 No penséis que he venido para abrogar la ley ó los profetas: no he venido para abrogar, sino á cumplir.
18 Porque de cierto os digo, [que] hasta que perezca el cielo y la tierra, ni una jota ni un tilde perecerá de la ley, hasta que todas las cosas sean hechas.
