[B-Greek] Matthew 5:14

I am interested in how the referenced verse comes to be understood as
two statements (sentences, even) and not as a compound sentence with the
second part a second metaphor, elaborating the metaphor of the first. (I
hope that doesn't sound too confusing.)
hYMEIS ESTE TO FWS TOU KOSMOU. OU DUNATAI POLIS KRUBHNAI EPANW OROUS
KEIMENH.
As I looked at it, I wondered if it could be "You are the light of the
world; a city not hideable, set on a mountain."
Is there something in the Greek that implies two simple statements
rather than a more complex single one?
Thanks in advance,
Henry Carmichael
