Matthew 5:14-16, “You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid. No one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light ao all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.”
