Matthew 5:21

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Matthew 5:21. Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:

God had said, "Thou shalt not kill;" but the remainder of the verse was the gloss of the Rabbis, a true one, yet one that very much diminishes the force of the divine command.
