MT. 5:20-26

Jesus said to his disciples: “If your virtue goes no deeper than that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never get into the Kingdom of heaven.” Another version says:

“For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven”.

Scribes and Pharisees were pretenders and hypocrites. They taught what they did not live themselves. They were full of extortion, prey, spoil, plunder and grasping self-indulgence.

They were proud and arrogant. What they said was final, whether bad or good. As true Christians we are required to be humble and open to dialogue.

The second part of the Gospel tells us to cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit, and make holiness perfect in the fear of God.

We should wronged no one. We should take advantage of no one. Jesus is saying this not to condemn you, but let you be free of sin and evil deeds.
