the words are (my transliteration):
humeis este to halas tees gees
and that is YOU are the salt of the earth.
the next sentence is more difficult, an if,then clause, and this is one of the things the King james translators did not do well. - if the salt loses its strength,how will it be made salty again.
It doesnt surprise me you were wondering what the true wording was. The King James Bible has the best English but is limited by the fact they didnt know how the new testament greek verb worked.
Susprisingly enough we know what the King James translators were thinking when they translated because one of them kept a diary.
