As so often in his published and unpublished writings, Ruskin quotes from the Sermon on the Mount, in this case where Jesus says: 'Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven' (Matthew 5.16). He quotes from the same section of the Sermon of the Mount in the following paragraph ( MP I, 1843:80). (See Ruskin and religion.)
