Matthew 5:17 in Context — Matthew 5
15 Nem se acende a lâmpada para se pôr debaixo de um cesto, mas sim na luminária, e ilumina a todos quantos estão na casa.
16 Assim brilhe vossa luz diante das pessoas, para que vejam vossas boas obras, e glorifiquem ao vosso Pai, que está nos céus.
17 Não penseis que vim para revogar a Lei ou os Profetas; não vim para revogar, mas sim para cumprir.
18 Porque em verdade vos digo que, até que o céu e a terra passem, nem um jota nem um til passará da Lei até que tudo se cumpra.
19 Portanto qualquer um que desobedecer a um destes menores mandamentos, e assim ensinar às pessoas, será chamado o menor no Reino dos céus; porém qualquer que [os] cumprir e ensinar, esse será chamado grande no Reino dos céus.
