Think not that I am come to destroy
the law or the prophets.
I am not come to destroy but to fulfil;
I have given you the law and
the commandments of my Father, that ye shall believe in me, and that ye shall repent of your sins, and come unto me with a
broken heart and a contrite spirit.
Behold, ye have the
commandments before you, and the law is fulfilled.
Therefore come unto me
and be ye saved;
for...except ye shall keep
my commandments,... ye shall in no case enter into
the kingdom of heaven.
It hath been said by
them of old time...that... whosoever shall kill shall be in danger
of the judgment of God;
But... whosoever is angry
with his brother shall be in danger of his judgment.
Therefore, if ye shall come unto me,
or shall desire to come unto me, and rememberest that thy brother
hath aught against thee—
Go thy way unto thy brother, and first
be reconciled to thy brother, and then come unto me with full purpose
of heart, and I will receive you.
It is written by them of old time,
that thou shalt not commit adultery;
But...whosever looketh on a woman,
to lust after her, hath committed adultery
already in his heart.
I give unto you a commandment, that ye suffer none of these things
to enter into your heart.
For it is better that ye should deny
yourselves of these things, wherein ye will take up your cross,
than that ye should be cast into hell.
And...it is written also, that
thou shalt love thy neighbor and hate thine enemy;
But...I say unto you,
love your enemies,
bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you,
and pray for them who despitefully use you
and persecute you; That ye may be the children of
your Father who is in heaven.
Those things which were of old time,
which were under the law, in me are all fulfilled.
Old things are done away,
and all things have become new.
Therefore I would that
ye should be perfect
even as I, or your Father
who is in heaven is perfect.
