THE PRECEPTS OF JESUS.
forth good for "nothing but to be cast out, and to be
trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world.
A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. Neither do
men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a
candlestick ; and it giveth light unto all that are in the
house. Let your light so shine before iren, that they
may see your good works, and glorify your Father which
is in heaven.
Think not that I am come to destroy the Law or
the Prophets : I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth
pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass
from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore
shall break one of these least commandments, and shall
teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom
of heaven : but whoseover shall do and teach them, the
same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven#
For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall
exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye
shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time
Thou shalt not kill ; and whosoever shall kill shall be in
danger of the judgment : but I say unto you, That who-
soever is angry with his brother without a cause, shall be
in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to
his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council : but
whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell
fire. Therefore, if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and
there rememberest that thy brother hath aught against
thee, leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy
way : first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come
and offer thy gift. Agree with thine adversary quickly
