Matthew 5:17-20

Modern English Version

Teaching About the Law

¹⁷ “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have not come to abolish, but to fulfill. ¹⁸ For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one dot or one mark will pass from the law until all be fulfilled. ¹⁹ Whoever, therefore, breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do likewise shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever does and teaches them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. ²⁰ For I say to you that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will in no way enter the kingdom of heaven.
