Mat 5:17-20 | ESV | STEP | 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.

Matthew 5:17-20

Christ Came to Fulfill the Law

17 ^a“Do not think that I have come to abolish ^bthe Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but ^cto fulfill them. 18 For truly, I say to you, ^duntil heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. 19 ^eTherefore whoever relaxes ^fone of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least ^gin the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great ^hin the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds ⁱthat of the scribes and Pharisees, you ^jwill never enter the kingdom of heaven.
