Matthew 22:35-40
1599 Geneva Bible
35 And [a]one of them, which was an expounder of the Law, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the Law?
37 Jesus said to him, (A)Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, with all thy [b]soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and the great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto this, (B)Thou shalt love thy [c]neighbor as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hangeth the whole Law and the Prophets.

1599 Geneva Bible
17 [a]Think not that I am come to destroy the Law, or the Prophets. I am not come to destroy them, but to [b]fulfill them.
18 (A)For truly I say unto you, Till heaven and earth perish, one jot or one tittle of the Law shall not escape, till all things be fulfilled.
19 (B)[c]Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and teach men so, he shall be called the [d]least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall observe and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

The Fulfillment of the Law
17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.(A) 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.(B) 19 Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands(C) 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.
