Matthew 5:19-21
New Life Version
19 Anyone who breaks even the least of the Law of Moses and teaches people not to do what it says, will be called the least in the holy nation of heaven. He who obeys and teaches others to obey what the Law of Moses says, will be called great in the holy nation of heaven. 20 I tell you, unless you are more right with God than the teachers of the Law and the proud religious law-keepers, you will never get into the holy nation of heaven.

Murder(C)
21 “You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘You shall not murder,[a](D) and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’
