Here Jesus speaks of everyone being purified by experiencing suffering. Jesus speaks of suffering as if it were fire and giving suffering to people as if it were applying salt to them. This can be stated also in active form. AT: "Just as salt purifies a sacrifice, God will purify everyone by allowing them to suffer" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
# its saltiness
"its salty taste"
# how can you make it salty again?
This can be written as a statement. AT: "you cannot make it salty again." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
Jesus speaks of doing good things for one another as if good things were salt that people possess. AT: "Do good to each other, like salt adds flavor to food" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
