If salt itself loses its taste, what can make it salty again?

Luke 14:27-35New Jerusalem Bible |
| 27 No one who does not carry his cross and come after me can be my disciple. 28 ‘And indeed, which of you here, intending to build a tower, would not first sit down and work out the cost to see if he had enough to complete it? 29 Otherwise, if he laid the foundation and then found himself unable to finish the work, anyone who saw it would start making fun of him and saying, 30 “Here is someone who started to build and was unable to finish.” 31 Or again, what king marching to war against another king would not first sit down and consider whether with ten thousand men he could stand up to the other who was advancing against him with twenty thousand? 32 If not, then while the other king was still a long way off, he would send envoys to sue for peace. 33 So in the same way, none of you can be my disciple without giving up all that he owns. 34 ‘Salt is a good thing. But if salt itself loses its taste, what can make it salty again? 35 It is good for neither soil nor manure heap. People throw it away. Anyone who has ears for listening should listen!’ |
