Matthew 5:19 in Context — Matthew 5
17 No penséis que he venido para abrogar la ley ó los profetas: no he venido para abrogar, sino á cumplir.
18 Porque de cierto os digo, [que] hasta que perezca el cielo y la tierra, ni una jota ni un tilde perecerá de la ley, hasta que todas las cosas sean hechas.
19 De manera que cualquiera que infringiere uno de estos mandamientos muy pequeños, y así enseñare á los hombres, muy pequeño será llamado en el reino de los cielos: mas cualquiera que hiciere y enseñare, éste será llamado grande en el reino de los cielos.
20 Porque os digo, que si vuestra justicia no fuere mayor que [la] de los escribas y de los Fariseos, no entraréis en el reino de los cielos.
21 Oísteis que fué dicho á los antiguos: No matarás; mas cualquiera que matare, será culpado del juicio.
