Matthew 5:17-20 - The Sermon On The Mount: The Law And The Prophets Fulfilled

17 Do not think I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I came, not to destroy, but to fulfill (perfect) (execute) (accomplish). 18 I solemnly tell you, heaven and earth would pass away before one small letter (detail) will pass away from the Law. All things must be accomplished. 19 Whoever disobeys even the least of the commandments and teaches others to do the same, will be called least in the kingdom of heaven. On the other hand whoever obeys and teaches others to obey the Law will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 I also tell you, your righteousness must be greater than the scribes and Pharisees or you will not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
