Matthew 5:16-20

New American Standard Bible 1995

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

¹⁷ “Do not think 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 shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished. ¹⁹ Whoever then annuls 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.

²⁰ “For I say to you that unless your ^(F)righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.
