Matthew 5:19 in Context — Matthew 5

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.

20 Porque eu vos digo que se a vossa justiça não for maior que a dos escribas e dos fariseus, de maneira nenhuma entrareis no Reino dos céus.

21 Ouvistes o que foi dito aos antigos: “Não cometerás homicídio”; “mas qualquer um que cometer homicídio será réu do julgamento”.
