Matthew 5:16-26

16In the same way, let your light shine before people, so that they can see your good deeds and give honor to your Father in heaven.

17“Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have not come to abolish these things but to fulfill them.

18I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth pass away not the smallest letter or stroke of a letter will pass from the law until everything takes place.

19So anyone who breaks one of the least of these commands and teaches others to do so will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever obeys them and teaches others to do so will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

20For I tell you, unless your righteousness goes beyond that of the experts in the law and the Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

21“You have heard that it was said to an older generation, ‘Do not murder,’ and ‘whoever murders will be subjected to judgment.’

22But I say to you that anyone who is angry with a brother will be subjected to judgment. And whoever insults a brother will be brought before the council, and whoever says ‘Fool’ will be sent to fiery hell.

23So then, if you bring your gift to the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you,

24leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother and then come and present your gift.

25Reach agreement quickly with your accuser while on the way to court, or he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge hand you over to the warden, and you will be thrown into prison.

26I tell you the truth, you will never get out of there until you have paid the last penny!
