Matthew 5:18-19
Context5:18 I 1 tell you the truth, 2 until heaven and earth pass away not the smallest letter or stroke of a letter 3 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 4 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.
