Berean Standard Bible
Matthew 5:17-22
17Do notG3361 thinkG3543 thatG3754 I have comeG2064 to abolishG2647 theG3588 LawG3551 orG2228 theG3588 ProphetsG4396. I have not comeG2064G3756 to abolishG2647 them, butG235 to fulfillG4137 them. 18ForG1063 I tellG3004 youG4771 trulyG281, untilG2193G302 heavenG3772 andG2532 earthG1093 pass awayG3928, notG3756G3361 a singleG1520 jotG2503, notG2228 aG1520 stroke of a penG2762, will disappearG3928 fromG575 theG3588 LawG3551 untilG2193G302 everythingG3956 is accomplishedG1096.
19So thenG1437G3767, whoeverG3739 breaksG3089 oneG1520 of theG3588 leastG1646 of theseG3778 commandmentsG1785 andG2532 teachesG1321 othersG444 to do likewiseG3779 will be calledG2564 leastG1646 inG1722 theG3588 kingdomG932 ofG3588 heavenG3772; butG1161 whoeverG3739G302 practicesG4160 andG2532 teachesG1321 them will be calledG2564 greatG3173 inG1722 theG3588 kingdomG932 ofG3588 heavenG3772. 20ForG1063 I tellG3004 youG4771 thatG3754 unlessG1437G3361 yourG4771 righteousnessG1343 exceedsG4052G4119 that of theG3588 scribesG1122 andG2532 PhariseesG5330, you will never enterG1525G3756G3361G1519 theG3588 kingdomG932 ofG3588 heavenG3772.
21You have heardG191 thatG3754 it was saidG2046 to theG3588 ancientsG744, ‘Do not murderG5407G3756’1 andG1161 ‘Anyone whoG3739G302 murdersG5407 will beG1510 subjectG1777 toG3588 judgmentG2920.’ 22ButG1161 IG1473 tellG3004 youG4771 thatG3754 anyoneG3956 whoG3588 is angry withG3710 hisG846 brotherG802 will beG1510 subjectG1777 toG3588 judgmentG2920. AgainG1161, anyone whoG3739G302 saysG2036 toG3588 hisG846 brotherG80, ‘RacaG4469,’3 will beG1510 subjectG1777 to theG3588 SanhedrinG4892.4 ButG1161 anyone whoG3739G302 saysG2036, ‘You foolG3474!’ will beG1510 subjectG1777 toG1519 theG3588 fireG4442 of hellG1067.5
