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.

Σεις εισθε το αλας της γης· εαν δε το αλας διαφθαρη, με τι θελει αλατισθη; εις ουδεν πλεον χρησιμευει ειμη να ριφθη εξω και να καταπατηται υπο των ανθρωπων.

Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
