Matthew 5:17-28

Anderson(i) 17 Think not that I have come to make the law or the prophets of no effect. I have not come to make them of no effect, but to give them their full efficiency. 18 For verily I say to you, Till heaven and earth pass away, one yod or one point shall in no way pass from the law till all be fulfilled. 19 Whoever, there fore, shall make void one of the least of these commandments, and shall teach men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever shall do and teach, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I say to you, That, unless your righteousness excel that of the scribes and Pharisees, you can by no means enter into the kingdom of heaven. 21 You have heard that it was said to the ancients: You shall not kill; and whoever shall kill, shall be liable to the sentence of the judges. 22 But I say to you, Whoever is angry with his brother without a cause, shall be liable to the sentence of the judges. And whoever shall say to his brother, Worthless fellow, shall be liable to the sentence of the Sanhedrin. But who ever shall say, Impious wretch, shall be in danger of hell-fire. 23 If, therefore, you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has any thing against you, 24 leave your gift there before the altar, and go, first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. 25 Come to an agreement with your opponent at law quickly, while you are on the road with him, lest your opponent at law deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and you be thrown into prison. 26 Verily, I say to you, You shall by no means come out thence, till you have paid the last farthing. 27 You have heard that it was said: You shall not commit adultery. 28 But I say to you, Whoever looks upon a woman to cherish desire for her, has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
