Matthew 5:17-22 Do not think that I have come to set aside the law and the prophets; I have not come to set them aside, but to bring them to perfection.

Knox⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ Do not think that I have come to set aside the law and the prophets; I have not come to set them aside, but to bring them to perfection. ¹⁸ Believe me, heaven and earth must disappear sooner than one jot, one flourish should disappear from the law; it must all be accomplished. ¹⁹ Whoever, then, sets aside one of these commandments, though it were the least, and teaches men to do the like, will be of least account in the kingdom of heaven; but the man who keeps them and teaches others to keep them will be accounted in the kingdom of heaven as the greatest. ²⁰ And I tell you, that if your justice does not give fuller measure than the justice of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. ²¹ You have heard that it was said to the men of old, Thou shalt not kill; if a man kills, he must answer for it before the court of justice. ²² But I tell you that any man who is angry with his brother must answer for it before the court of justice, and any man who says Raca to his brother must answer for it before the Council; and any man who says to his brother. Thou fool, must answer for it in hell fire.
