American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
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.
For every one shall be salted with fire {Many ancient authorities add and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. See Leviticus 2:13.}.
Salt is good: but if the salt have lost its saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace one with another.
Salt therefore is good: but if even the salt have lost its savor, wherewith shall it be seasoned?
Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer each one.
