Matthew 5:17-19

17 "Do not think that I came to abolish the ¹Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill.

18 "For truly I say to you, ²until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished.

19 "Whoever * then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, shall be called least ³in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever * keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
