MATTHEW 5 13\u00a0<\/sup>\u201cYou are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. 14\u00a0<\/sup>\u201cYou are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15\u00a0<\/sup>Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are<\/em> in the house. 16\u00a0<\/sup>Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. 17\u00a0<\/sup>\u201cDo not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. 18\u00a0<\/sup>For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. 19\u00a0<\/sup>Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them,<\/em> he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20\u00a0<\/sup>For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness<\/em> of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. 21\u00a0<\/sup>\u201cYou have heard that it was said to those of old, \u2018You shall not murder,[a<\/a>]<\/sup> and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.\u2019 22\u00a0<\/sup>But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause[<\/sup>b<\/sup><\/a>]<\/sup> shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, \u2018Raca!\u2019 shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, \u2018You fool!\u2019 shall be in danger of hell fire. 23\u00a0<\/sup>Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24\u00a0<\/sup>leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. 25\u00a0<\/sup>Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are on the way with him, lest your adversary deliver you to the judge, the judge hand you over to the officer, and you be thrown into prison. 26\u00a0<\/sup>Assuredly, I say to you, you will by no means get out of there till you have paid the last penny.<\/p>\n

Something to Think About<\/span>
\n<\/strong>This is the difference between the Old and New Covenant: the old condemned the act which results from sin. \u00a0The New guides Christians by condemning the sin that leads to the ‘act’ or crime by making them Holy through the Grace of Christ.
