The Sermon On The Mount: The Law And The Prophets Fulfilled

16 In like manner, let your light shine before men, - that they may see your good works, - and glorify your Father who is in the heavens. 17 Do not think, that I came to pull down the law, or the prophets, - I came not to pull down, but to fulfil. 18 For, verily, I say unto you, until the heaven and the earth shall pass away, one least letter, or one point, may in nowise pass away from the law, till all be accomplished.
