17 Do not imagine I have come to destroy the Law or the prophets; I have not come to destroy but to fulfil.
18 (I tell you truly, till heaven and earth pass away not an iota, not a comma, will pass from the Law until it is all in force.
19 Therefore whoever relaxes a single one of these commands, were it even one of the least, and teaches men so, he will be ranked least in the Realm of heaven; but whoever obeys them and teaches them, he will be ranked great in the Realm of heaven.)
20 For I tell you, unless your goodness excels that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never get into the Realm of heaven.
21 You have heard how the men of old were told, 'Murder not: whoever murders must come up for sentence,
22 whoever maligns his brother must come before the San hedrin, whoever curses his brother must go to the fire of Gehenna.' But I tell you, whoever is angry with his brother [without cause] will be sentenced by God.
23 So if you remember, even when offering your gift at the altar, that your brother has any grievance against you,
24 leave your gift at the very altar and go away; first be reconciled to your brother, then come back and offer your gift.
25 Be quick and make terms with your opponent, so long as you and he are on the way to court, in case he hands you over to the judge, and the judge to the jailer, and you are thrown into prison;
26 truly I tell you, you will never get out till you pay the last halfpenny of your debt.
27 You have heard how it used to be said, Do not commit adultery.
28 But I tell you, any one who even looks with lust at a woman has committed adultery with her already in his heart.
