Think not that I came to destroy the law or the pro18 phets I came not to destroy, but to fulfil. "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass away from the law, till (19 all things be accomplished. "Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven : but whosoever shall do and teach them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. "For I say unto you, that except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in (22 danger of the judgement: "but I say unto you, that every one who is angry with his brother1 shall be in danger of the judgement; and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council; and whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of the hell of 23) fire.

(27 Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt not commit 28 adultery: "but I say unto you, that every one that looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery (29 with her already in his heart. "And if thy right eye causeth thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not thy whole body be cast (30into hell.
