《律法的標準》
17 「莫想我來要廢掉律法和先知。我來不是要廢掉，乃是要成全。 18 我實在告訴你們，就是到天地都廢去了，律法的一點一畫也不能廢去，都要成全。 19 所以，無論何人廢掉這誡命中最小的一條，又教訓人這樣做，他在天國要稱為最小的。但無論何人遵行這誡命，又教訓人遵行，他在天國要稱為大的。 20 我告訴你們，你們的義若不勝於文士和法利賽人的義，斷不能進天國。」
21 「你們聽見有吩咐古人的話，說：『不可殺人』；又說：『凡殺人的難免受審判。』 22 只是我告訴你們，凡向弟兄動怒的，難免受審判；凡罵弟兄是拉加的，難免公會的審判；凡罵弟兄是魔利的，難免地獄的火。 23 所以，你在祭壇上獻禮物的時候，若想起弟兄向你懷怨， 24 就把禮物留在壇前，先去同弟兄和好，然後來獻禮物。 25 你同告你的對頭還在路上，就趕緊與他和息，恐怕他把你送給審判官，審判官交付衙役，你就下在監裏了。 26 我實在告訴你，若有一文錢沒有還清，你斷不能從那裏出來。」
27 「你們聽見有話說：『不可姦淫。』 28 只是我告訴你們，凡看見婦女就動淫念的，這人心裏已經與她犯姦淫了。 29 若是你的右眼叫你跌倒，就剜出來丟掉，寧可失去百體中的一體，不叫全身丟在地獄裏。 30 若是右手叫你跌倒，就砍下來丟掉，寧可失去百體中的一體，不叫全身下入地獄。」
31 「又有話說：『人若休妻，就當給她休書。』 32 只是我告訴你們，凡休妻的，若不是為淫亂的緣故，就是叫她作淫婦了；人若娶這被休的婦人，也是犯姦淫了。」 (馬太福音五17-32)
17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19 Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 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.
21 “You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘You shall not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’ 22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, ‘Raca,’ is answerable to the court. And anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell. 23 “Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you, 24 leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift. 25 “Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still together on the way, or your adversary may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. 26 Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.
27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ 28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.
31 “It has been said, ‘Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’ 32 But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery. (Matthew 5:17-32)

分享【不是降低標準，而是更新人心】
在登山寶訓中，耶穌清楚表明祂來不是要廢掉律法，而是要成全律法。祂沒有降低神的要求，反而把律法的標準帶回它真正的核心 ── 人的內心。人以為只要「沒有殺人、沒有姦淫」就算守法，但耶穌指出：憤怒、輕視、情慾若在心中滋長，同樣破壞生命與關係。耶穌並非要製造更多內疚，而是揭示問題的根源。外在行為只是果子，內在的心態才是根。若只處理表面，生命仍被罪綑綁；唯有心被更新，行為才真正改變。
因此，耶穌強調和好重於獻祭、決斷勝於拖延。祂呼召門徒正視心中的衝突、怒氣與慾望，不容罪在心裡扎根。這樣的教導看似嚴厲，其實充滿憐憫，因為耶穌知道：真正自由的人，不只是守住界線，而是活出更新的生命！
【釋經亮點】
經文中，耶穌說祂來「不是要廢掉，乃是要成全」(參 v.17)。這並不是指把舊約律法作廢，也不是在律法之上再加添一堆更難遵守的新規條。「成全」的意思是「使之圓滿、達到原意」。換言之，耶穌要做的，是把律法帶到它原本要到達的終點 ── 引導人活出愛神、愛人的生命，而不只是停留在條文的遵守上。
我們可以從三個層面來理解「成全」的意思：
第一，耶穌在祂的生命中完全活出律法。祂完全順服天父，成為律法所指向、真正義的樣式。
第二，耶穌把律法推進到內心的層面。祂不是降低標準，反而揭示律法真正要處理的，是人內在的動機與心態。
第三，耶穌把律法最終指向祂自己。舊約中的獻祭制度、聖潔要求，以及以色列的整個救贖故事，最終都在基督裡得以完成，這也是「成全」在宏觀層面的意義。
反思：你是否只關注外在的「沒有犯錯」，卻忽略了心中的怒氣、輕視或其他罪性？在對付罪的問題上，你是否願意作出實際而果斷的改變？
禱告：看透人心的主，祢洞察我的內心，也溫柔地呼召我悔改。求祢更新我的心思意念，使我不只是守住外在界線，更是活出祢所喜悅的生命。求祢賜我勇氣去和好、去斷開罪的捆綁，讓我的生命真實地反映祢的公義與愛。以上禱告，奉主耶穌的名求，阿們。
