Matthew 5:14 in Context — Matthew 5

12 Jubilai e alegrai-vos, porque grande é vossa recompensa nos céus; pois assim perseguiram aos profetas que foram antes de vós.

13 Vós sois o sal da terra; mas se o sal perder seu sabor, com que se salgará? Para nada mais presta, a não ser para se lançar fora, e ser pisado pelas pessoas.

14 Vós sois a luz do mundo; não se pode esconder uma cidade fundada sobre o monte;

15 Nem se acende a lâmpada para se pôr debaixo de um cesto, mas sim na luminária, e ilumina a todos quantos estão na casa.

16 Assim brilhe vossa luz diante das pessoas, para que vejam vossas boas obras, e glorifiquem ao vosso Pai, que está nos céus.
