10"Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness` sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
11"Blessed are you when people reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12"Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven. For that is how they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
13You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has lost its flavor, what will it be salted with? It is then good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under the feet of men.
14You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill can`t be hid.
15Neither do you light a lamp, and put it under a bushel basket, but on a stand; and it shines to all who are in the house.
16Even so, let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
