Compare all
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.  

Murder Begins in the Heart

21 “You have heard that it was said to those1 of old, a‘You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.’  
22 But I say to you that awhoever is angry with his brother1 without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, b‘Raca!’ shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says,3 ‘You fool!’ shall be in danger of4 hell fire.  
23 Therefore aif you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you,  
24 aleave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
