8:8 How can you say, “We are wise!
We have the law of the Lord”?
The truth is, 4 those who teach it 5 have used their writings
to make it say what it does not really mean. 6
8:9 Your wise men will be put to shame.
They will be dumbfounded and be brought to judgment. 7
Since they have rejected the word of the Lord,
what wisdom do they really have?
8:12 I spelled out my law for him in great detail,
but they regard it as something totally unknown 8 to them!
5:17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have not come to abolish these things but to fulfill them. 9 5:18 I 10 tell you the truth, 11 until heaven and earth pass away not the smallest letter or stroke of a letter 12 will pass from the law until everything takes place. 5:19 So anyone who breaks one of the least of these commands and teaches others 13 to do so will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever obeys them and teaches others to do so will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 5:20 For I tell you, unless your righteousness goes beyond that of the experts in the law 14 and the Pharisees, 15 you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
