Ye are the light of the world. A city sitting on a mountain is unable to be hidden.
15 nor do they light a lamp and put it under the measure, but on the lampstand, and it shines to all those in the house;
Neither do they light a candle, and place it under a bushel, but on the candlestick; and it shineth to all who are in the house.

17 Do not suppose that I came to throw down the Law or the Prophets—I did not come to throw down, but to fulfill;
Think not that I came to destroy the law of the prophets: I came not to destroy, but to fulfill.

in order that you may be the sons of your Father who is in the heavens: because He raises up His sun on the wicked and on the good, and rains on the righteous and on the unrighteous.
46 For if you may love those loving you, what reward do you have? Do the tax collectors not also do the same?
For if you love those that love you, what reward have ye? because the publicans also do the same.
47 And if you may greet your brothers only, what do you do abundant? Do the nations not also do so?
If you salute your brethren only, what do ye more abundantly? do not the heathens also the same thing?

Therefore ye shall be perfect, as your Father who is in heaven is perfect.
