← Matthew 5:12 [words of Jesus]	Matthew 5:13 (KJV) [words of Jesus]	Matthew 5:14 [words of Jesus] →
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great [is] your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.	Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.	Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
