Matthew 5:15 in Context — Matthew 5
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.
17 Não penseis que vim para revogar a Lei ou os Profetas; não vim para revogar, mas sim para cumprir.
