14 a“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.
15 Nor do they alight a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.
16 Let your light so shine before men, athat they may see your good works and bglorify your Father in heaven.
Christ Fulfills the Law
17 a“Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.
18 For assuredly, I say to you, atill heaven and earth pass away, one1 jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.
19 aWhoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds athe righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.
