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.
Ye ben salt of þe erþe; þat if þe salt vanysche awey, whereynne schal it be saltid? To no thing it is worth ouere, no but þat it be cast out, and be defoulid of men.
