16 Your light must shine before people in such a way that they may (A)see your good works, and (B)glorify your Father who is in heaven.

17 “Do not presume that I came to abolish the (C)Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill. 18 For truly I say to you, (D)until heaven and earth pass away, not [a]the smallest letter or stroke of a letter shall pass from the Law, until all is accomplished! 19 Therefore, whoever nullifies one of the least of these commandments, and teaches [b]others to do the same, shall be called least (E)in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever [c]keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
