「你們是地上的鹽。鹽如果失去了味道，還能用什麼來把它醃成鹹的呢？它再也沒有用處，只好被丟在外面，任人踐踏。

你們的話語總要帶著恩惠，像用鹽調和過的，好使你們知道該怎樣回答每一個人。

要知道，每個人都將被火醃成鹹的。鹽是好的，但如果那鹽也不鹹了，還能用什麼來調味呢？你們裡面要有鹽，要彼此和睦。」

神又照著自己的旨意，用神蹟、奇事和各種大能，以及聖靈的各種恩賜，與他們一同見證。事實上，我們所說的那「將要來的世界」，神並沒有使它服從天使，但是有人在經上某處鄭重地見證說：「人算什麼，你竟然顧念他？人之子算什麼，你竟然照顧他？你使他暫時比天使低微；你賜他榮耀和尊貴為冠冕；你使萬有都服從在他的腳下。」既然神使萬有都服從他，就沒有留下一樣不服從他；但如今，我們還沒有看見萬有都服從他。
