Matthew 5:14-18
English Standard Version
14 (A)“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 (B)Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so (C)that[a] they may see your good works and (D)give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
Christ Came to Fulfill the Law
17 (E)“Do not think that I have come to abolish (F)the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but (G)to fulfill them. 18 For truly, I say to you, (H)until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished.
