Salt and Light

13 “You are the salt of the earth, ^abut if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet.

Mark 9:49-50

49 For everyone will be salted with fire. ^{▼▼Some manuscripts add and every sacrifice will be salted with salt} 50 ^cSalt is good, ^dbut if the salt has lost its saltiness, how will you make it salty again? ^eHave salt in yourselves, and ^fbe at peace with one another.”

Colossians 4:6

6 Let your speech always ^gbe gracious, ^hseasoned with salt, ⁱso that you may know how you ought to answer each person.

Hebrews 2:4-8

4 ^jwhile God also bore witness ^kby signs and wonders and various miracles and by ^lgifts of the Holy Spirit ^mdistributed according to his will.

The Founder of Salvation

5 For it was not to angels that God subjected the world ⁿto come, of which we are speaking. 6 It has been testified somewhere,

^o“What is man, that you are mindful of him,
or the son of man, that you care for him?
7 You made him for a little while lower than the angels;
you have crowned him with glory and honor, ^{▼▼Some manuscripts insert and set him over the works of your hands}
8 putting everything in subjection under his feet.”
Now in putting everything in subjection to him, he left nothing outside his control. At present, ^qwe do not yet see everything in subjection to him.
