Study Notes

Principles for Daily Life

Jesus applies the Beatitudes to everyday life, enriching and expanding on the commandments.
Jesus did not abolish the law and prophets, but rather fulfilled them.
Examples include:
- Killing: Anger towards a brother is also liable to judgment. Insults or calling someone a "fool" are even more serious, leading to hell-fire.
- Adultery: Lustful thoughts are considered adultery.
- Divorce: Divorce except on the grounds of unchastity leads to adultery.
- Oaths: Avoid oaths and stick to "yes/no" responses.
- Revenge: Turn the other cheek, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you.
