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.
