17 “Don’t imagine that I came to criticise the prophets or Moses’ law. I didn’t come to oppose the scriptures, but to fulfill them, 18 [ref]because I can assure you all that until heaven and earth reach their end, not one letter or mark will be taken away from the law until everything is fulfilled. 19 Therefore anyone who breaks even a minor commandment and teaches others to do the same, will be seen as one of the least in the kingdom of the heavens, but anyone who practices and teaches the law will be considered outstanding in the kingdom. 20 Let me tell all of you, unless you’re more godly than the teachers of the law and the Pharisees, there’s no way that you’ll get to enter the kingdom of the heavens.
