マタイの福音書 5:16
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Study Note
The command to 'let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven' establishes that the purpose of ethical visibility is theocentric rather than self-promotional. The final phrase 'give glory to your Father in heaven' is determinative: the good works are designed to redirect attention to their source rather than to the agent who performs them. This stands in tension with the warning in Matthew 6:1 against practicing righteousness 'before others in order to be seen by them,' a tension resolved by attending to the object of the resulting praise. The verse grounds the public character of Christian ethics in the nature of witness: visible goodness that points to the invisible God is not performance but testimony.
