Matthew 23:1-4
Excerpted from: When Actions Contradict Stated BeliefsSo Jesus was not commending the scribes and Pharisees with all their rules and their regulations. He said, insofar as these scribes and Pharisees have taught you the great principles of the law that Moses received from God, you must obey them.
Now the problem with the Pharisees was that they were not correctly applying the spirit of the law. The Ten Commandments are based on two fundamental principles. They are based on reverence for God and for God's name and for God's way of life toward others. They are based on respect for a person's life, possessions, personality, and self. These principles are eternal and insofar as the scribes and Pharisees taught reverence for God and respect for others, their teaching was eternally binding and eternally valid.
