a bushel, but on its stand; and it sheds light on all that are in
the house. (16)Just so let your light shine before men, that they may
see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in the heavens.

(17)Think not that I am come to destroy the law and the prophets: I
came not to destroy, but to fulfil. (18)For I tell you assuredly, that
till heaven and earth pass away, not one iota, or the smallest stroke
of a letter, shall pass from the law, until all things shall be
accomplished. (19)Whosoever therefore shall break one of the least of
these commandments, and teach men so, he shall be accounted the least
in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall practise, and teach them,
he shall be reckoned great in the kingdom of heaven. (20)For I say unto
you, That except your righteousness abounds more than that of the
scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of
heaven.

judge commit thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
(26)Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt in no wise come out from thence,
till thou hast paid the last farthing.

(27)Ye have heard that it was said to those of old, "Thou shalt not
commit adultery:" (28)but I say unto you, That every one who looketh
upon a woman to lust after her, hath already committed adultery with
her in his heart. (29)If then thine eye, the right, leads thee to
offend, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is highly for thy
advantage, that one of thy members be destroyed, and not that thy whole
body should be cast into hell. (30)And if thy right hand leads thee to
