Luke 16:15-17
1599 Geneva Bible
15 [a]Then he said unto them, Ye are they, which justify yourselves before men: but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men, is abomination in the sight of God.
16 (A)[b]The Law and the Prophets endured until John: and since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
17 (B)Now it is more easy that heaven and earth should pass away, than that one tittle of the Law should fall.
