『你們、是地上的鹽。鹽若失了味，要用甚麼使它再鹹呢？那就不再有甚麼用處，只好丟在外面，給人踐踏罷了。

你們的話要時常帶着溫雅的情調，像用鹽調和而有味道，使你們曉得怎樣回答各人。

因為各人都必須被火所醃。鹽是好的；但鹽若成了不鹹的，要用甚麼來調味呢？應當有鹽在你們中間；應當彼此和睦。』

又是上帝、用神迹奇事和各種異能、以及隨他主意而分給人的聖靈之恩賜、所一同證實的。上帝並沒有叫我們所說的將來天下順服於天使呀。乃是有人在某處鄭重地明證說：『人是甚麼，你竟顧念他？人類是甚麼，你竟眷顧他？你叫他暫時比天使小，就用榮耀尊貴給他做華冠，叫萬有都順服在他腳下。』既說「叫萬有都順服於他」，就沒有剩下一樣不順服於他了。其實呢、我們還沒有見着萬有都順服於人呢。
