Matthew 5:19-
20 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 whosoever 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.
Matthew 15:6 And
honour not his father or his mother, [
he shall be free].
Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.
Matthew 23:23-
24 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
for ye pay tithe of mint and
anise and
cummin, and have omitted
the weightier [
matters] of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith:
these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. ... [
Ye] blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
Hosea 8:12 I have
written to him the great things of my law,
[but] they were counted as a strange thing.
Mark 12:28-
33 And
one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him,
Which is the first commandment of all? ... And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love [
his] neighbour as himself,
is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
Luke 11:42 But
woe unto you, Pharisees!
for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs,
and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done,
and not to leave the other undone.
