Matthew 5:13

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its savor, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
“You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has lost its flavor, with what will it be salted? It is then good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under the feet of men.
World English Bible (WEB)
Ye{G5210} are{G2075}{(G5748)} the salt{G217} of the earth{G1093}: but{G1161} if{G1437} the salt{G217} have lost his savour{G3471}{(G5686)}, wherewith{G1722}{G5101} shall it be salted{G233}{(G5701)}? it is thenceforth{G2089} good{G2480}{(G5719)} for{G1519} nothing{G3762}, but{G1508} to be cast{G906}{(G5683)} out{G1854}, and{G2532} to be trodden under foot{G2662}{(G5745)} of{G5259} men{G444}.
Strong's King James
(13) You are the salt of the land but if the salt is tasteless how will it be salted? It's further powerfully-good for nothing except thrown out trampled under foot by men.
The F.O.G*
[13] "You are the salt of the earth—preserving, flavoring, and purifying society. But if salt loses its distinctive taste and effect, what good is it? It becomes worthless, fit only to be thrown out and trampled.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
‘Ye are the salt of the land, but if the salt may lose savour, in what shall it be salted? for nothing is it good henceforth, except to be cast without, and to be trodden down by men.
