Matthew 5:18-20
1599 Geneva Bible
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)[a]Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and teach men so, he shall be called the [b]least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall observe and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 For I say unto you, except your righteousness (C)exceed the righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
