Can something tasteless be eaten without salt? Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?

You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.

Salt is good; but if the salt has lost its flavor, how shall it be seasoned?

It is neither fit for the land nor for the dunghill, but men throw it out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for the business of building up, that it may impart grace to the hearers.

Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.

Depart from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.

i1 [A Song of Ascents of David.] i0 par Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I love you, that you also love one another.

By this everyone will know that you are My disciples, if you have love mutually with one another.

These things I command you, that you love one another.

If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before you.

If it is possible, as for yourself, be at peace with all men.

for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

Therefore let us pursue the things of peace and the things that build up one another.

Finally, brethren, rejoice. Become complete. Be encouraged, be of one mind, be at peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.

For all the Law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

But if you bite and devour one another, take heed that you are not consumed by one another.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faith,

with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love,

There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling;

one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

Only, let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel,

Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy,

Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or self-glory, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others as surpassing himself.

Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering;

But flee youthful lusts; and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord;

for the wrath of man does not bring about the righteousness of God.

But if you have bitter envy and contention in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth.

For where envy and contention exist, there is confusion and every evil deed.

Moreover the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

Finally, all of you be of one mind, sympathetic; loving the brothers, be tenderhearted, be kind;
