Jesus said,
“Don’t think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I did not come to destroy, I came to fulfill.
I tell you an important truth, until heaven and earth pass away, not one small stroke of the pen, or the smallest letter in the alphabet will be removed from the law until all things are accomplished.
Whoever breaks even one of the least of the commandments, and teaches men to break them, will be called the least in the kingdom of heaven.
But whoever teaches the law of God — and also does it — will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Unless your righteousness is greater than the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not even enter the kingdom of heaven.
You have heard it said for ages, you shall not kill; and whoever kills shall be in danger of the judgment. But I say to you that anyone who is angry with his brother shall be in danger of the judgment; and whoever says to his brother, ‘Heretic’ shall be in danger of the council; and whoever shall say ‘you fool’ shall be in danger of hell fire.
If you are offering your gift at the altar and while you are there you remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift at the altar and go find your brother and be reconciled, and then come offer your gift.
Agree with your adversary quickly, before he goes to the judge, or your adversary will take you in front of the judge, and the judge will turn you over to an officer of the court who will cast you into prison.
Truly I tell you this, you will not escape your punishment until you have paid the last cent you owe.
You have heard that it has been said, you shall not commit adultery. But I say to you, anyone that even looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away. It is better that a part of your body perishes than your whole body be cast into hell.
If your right hand causes you to do evil, cut it off and throw it away. It is better that you cut off a part of your body and throw it away than your whole body be cast into hell.
It is said, whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement. But I say to you, anyone who divorces his wife, except for fornication, makes her an adulteress and whoever marries her after she is divorced commits adultery.”
