Matthew 5:19-21
1599 Geneva Bible
19 (A)[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 (B)exceed the righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
21 [c]Ye have heard that it was said unto them of the old time, (C)Thou shalt not kill: for whosoever killeth shall be culpable of judgment.
