14. Ye are the light of the world: A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid.
15. Neither do men light a Candle and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light to all that are in the house.
14, 15. God hath honoured you to be the lights to a dark world: It is not therefore an obscure and hidden sort of goodness that beseemeth you: You are called out to be conspicuous in the world, like a City on a hill that cannot be hid; by your difference from them in doctrine and life: Men do not light a candle to hide it, but to to set it up to be a light to the house; And so doth God call you to be open lights in Doctrine and life.
16. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in Heaven.
