Luke 16:15-17

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹⁵ So he said to them, ‘You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of others; but God knows your hearts; for what is prized by human beings is an abomination in the sight of God.

¹⁶ ‘The law and the prophets were in effect until John came; since then the good news of the kingdom of God is proclaimed, and everyone tries to enter it by force.^{[a] 17} But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one stroke of a letter in the law to be dropped.
