Matthew 5:13-16
13 You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its saltiness, with what will it be salted? It is no longer useful at all, except to be cast out and trampled under by men. 14 You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden. 15 And they do not light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, so that it may shine to all who are in the house. 16 So then, let your light shine in the sight of men, so that they may see your good works, and may glorify your Father, who is in heaven. Acts 11:21b-26; 13:1-3 And a great number believed and were converted to the Lord. 22 Now the news came to the ears of the Church at Jerusalem about these things, and they sent Barnabas as far as Antioch. 23 And when he had arrived there and had seen the grace of God, he was gladdened. And he exhorted them all to continue in the Lord with a resolute heart. 24 For he was a good man, and he was filled with the Holy Spirit and with faith. And a great multitude was added to the Lord. 25 Then Barnabas set out for Tarsus, so that he might seek Saul. And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. 26 And they were conversing there in the Church for an entire year. And they taught such a great multitude, that it was at Antioch that the disciples were first known by the name of Christian. 1 Now there were, in the Church at Antioch, prophets and teachers, among whom were Barnabas, and Simon, who was called the Black, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manahen, who was the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 2 Now as they were ministering for the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said to them: "Separate Saul and Barnabas for me, for the work for which I have selected them." 3 Then, fasting and praying and imposing their hands upon them, they sent them away.
