This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

20. δικαιοσύνη, ‘observance of the law.’ Unless ye observe the law with greater exactness than the Pharisees, ye shall not enter the kingdom of heaven. The Pharisaic δικαιοσύνη consisted in extended and minute external observances, Christ’s περίσσευμα in reaching the spiritual meaning of the law.

(a) Instances from the Decalogue, Mat 5:21-37

(α) Murder, Mat 5:21-26
