Matthew 5
American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)
13 Ref Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost its savor, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under foot of men.
14 Ref Ye are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid.
15 Ref Neither do `men' light a lamp, and put it under the bushel, but on the stand; and it shineth unto all that are in the house.
Bible in Basic English (BBE)
13 Ref You are the salt of the earth; but if its taste goes from the salt, how will you make it salt again? it is then good for nothing but to be put out and crushed under foot by men.
14 Ref You are the light of the world. A town put on a hill may be seen by all.
15 Ref And a burning light is not put under a vessel, but on its table; so that its rays may be shining on all who are in the house.
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
13 Ref `Ye are the salt of the land, but if the salt may lose savour, in what shall it be salted? for nothing is it good henceforth, except to be cast without, and to be trodden down by men.
14 Ref `Ye are the light of the world, a city set upon a mount is not able to be hid;
15 Ref nor do they light a lamp, and put it under the measure, but on the lamp-stand, and it shineth to all those in the house;
