How the New Testament Upholds the Torah

But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one dot of the Law to become void. (Luke 16:17)

For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become guilty of all of it. (James 2:10)

For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” (Galatians 5:14)

“So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. (Matthew 7:12)

“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. For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder; and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.’ ... (Matthew 5:17-45)

For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome. (1 John 5:3)

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. (Galatians 5:22-23)

Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? By no means! On the contrary, we uphold the law. (Romans 3:31).

Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. (Romans 13:8)

But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing. (James 1:25)

“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. (John 15:12)

“If you love me, you will keep my commandments. (John 14:15)

Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God; and whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him. (1 John 3:21-22)

For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified. (Romans 2:13)
