New International Version
19 Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands(A) and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.(B)
Murder(C)
21 “You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘You shall not murder,[a](D) and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’ 22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry(E) with a brother or sister[b][c] will be subject to judgment.(F) Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, ‘Raca,’[d] is answerable to the court.(G) And anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell.(H)
23 “Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you, 24 leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift.

Love for Enemies
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor[a](A) and hate your enemy.’(B) 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,(C) 45 that you may be children(D) of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.(E) 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get?(F) Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.(G)
