Genesis 5:1-14 and Matthew 5:13-16 (NIV)

Genesis 5:1-14
1   This is the written account of Adam’s family line.
   When God created mankind, he made them in the likeness of God.
2   He created them male and female and blessed them. And he named them “Mankind” when they were created.
3   When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named him Seth.
4   After Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters.
5   Altogether, Adam lived a total of 930 years, and then he died.
6   When Seth had lived 105 years, he became the father of Enosh.
7   After he became the father of Enosh, Seth lived 807 years and had other sons and daughters.
8   Altogether, Seth lived a total of 912 years, and then he died.
9   When Enosh had lived 90 years, he became the father of Kenan.
10  After he became the father of Kenan, Enosh lived 815 years and had other sons and daughters.
11  Altogether, Enosh lived a total of 905 years, and then he died.
12  When Kenan had lived 70 years, he became the father of Mahalalel.
13  After he became the father of Mahalalel, Kenan lived 840 years and had other sons and daughters.
14  Altogether, Kenan lived a total of 910 years, and then he died.

Matthew 5:13-16
13  “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.
14   “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.
15  Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.
16  In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
