JESUS AND THE LAW – PART II

Matthew 5:19-20 Whosoever, therefore, shall break one of these

least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called

the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach

them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

20For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall

exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall

in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
