13 Vós sois o sal da terra; ora, se o sal vier a ser insípido, como lhe restaurar o sabor? Para nada mais presta senão para, lançado fora, ser pisado pelos homens.

14 Vós sois a luz do mundo. Não se pode esconder a cidade edificada sobre um monte; 15 nem se acende uma candeia para colocá-la debaixo do alqueire, mas no velador, e alumia a todos os que se encontram na casa. 16 Assim brilhe também a vossa luz diante dos homens, para que vejam as vossas boas obras e glorifiquem a vosso Pai que está nos céus.

13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost its savor, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under foot of men. 14 Ye are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a lamp, and put it under the bushel, but on the stand; and it shineth unto all that are in the house. 16 Even so let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

13 "You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.

14 "You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.

15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.

16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
