20. 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.
20. So far am I from Preaching looseness, or favouring sin, that I tell you, tho the Scribes and Pharisees pretend to the strictest keeping of the Law; if you keep it not better than they do, and be not a better and a more righteous sort of men, you shall in no case enter into the Kingdom of heaven. Note, That besides Christ's Righteousness, there is necessary to all (at age) that will be saved, a righteousness consisting in more careful exact obedience to God, than any formal Hypocrite hath. And this God's Spirit worketh them unto.

21. Ye have heard that it was said by them of old times, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of judgment. 22. But I say to you, that whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause, shall be in danger of the judgment; and whosoever shall say to his brother Raca, ⟨image 10⟩shall be in danger of the Council: But whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of Hell-fire.
