THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MARK - Chapter 9 - Verse 50

Verse 50. Lost his saltness, etc. See Barnes "Mt 5:13".

Have salt in yourselves. Have the preserving, purifying principle always; the principles of denying yourselves of suppressing pride, ambition, contention, etc., and thus you will be an acceptable offering to God.

Have peace. Avoid contention and quarrelling, struggling for places, honours, and office, and seek each other's welfare, and religion will be honoured and preserved in the world.
