Matthew 5:17-22 Think not that I am come to subvert the law or the prophets. I am come not to subvert, but to ratify.

Living_Oracles⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ Think not that I am come to subvert the law or the prophets. I am come not to subvert, but to ratify. ¹⁸ For, indeed, I say to you, heaven and earth shall sooner perish, than one iota, or on tittle of the law shall perish, without attaining its end. ¹⁹ Whosoever, therefore, shall violate, or teach others to violate, were it the least of these commandments, shall be in no esteem in the Reign of Heaven; but whosoever shall practice and teach them, shall be highly esteemed in the Reign of Heaven. ²⁰ For I tell you, that unless your righteousness excel the righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees, you shall never enter the kingdom of heaven. ²¹ You have heard that it was said to the ancients, "You shall not commit murder; for whosoever commits murder shall be obnoxious to the judges." ²² But I say to you, whosoever is angry with his brother unjustly, shall be obnoxious to the judges; whosoever shall call him fool, shall be obnoxious to the council; but whosoever shall call him miscreant, shall be obnoxious to hell fire.
