Hello ray, If you haven't done so, read the entire chapter to gain the context starting at Matt. 5:1. I think the key is: Matt 5:20, "For I say to you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven." Christ is basically intensifying the requirements as the Pharisees, had set up a false sense of obedience to the law. In other words, they were keeping the "letter of the law" but neglecting the spirit of it. Outwardly they appeared righteous, but inwardly their hearts were wicked. (Jer. 17:9, Matt.12:34) I hope this helps, BradK |
