The verse you quoted is not referring back to the old Covenant
(contract) which was made void by the payment of Death (through
Christ who brought in the new Covenant (contract)) by paying the
ultimate price by shedding his blood and dying to atone for the first
covenant in order to provide a more perfect Covenant or contract, the
law of faith.
Christ was referring to his commandments in the book of Mathews.
Christ clearly teaches that if you teaches God's commandments (law)
you have to keep all the law (God's commandments) not just the ones
you know. Christ, "till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall
in no wise (man) pass from the law, till all be fulfilled? So, it's every jot
and tittle of the law not just the ones you know".
Christ was referring to his commandments in the book of Mathews.
Mathew 5
Mat 5:17 ¶ Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the
prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Mat 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass,
one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be
fulfilled.
ME,
You have to keep every jot and tittle of the law to be righteousified
before god.
Mat 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least
commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in
the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach [them], the
same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
if you teach and break one of these least commandments, Christ calls
you the least of the kingdom of heaven but if you do and keep every
jot and tittle you are called the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
So, according to you, you will be the greatest because you can keep all
of God's commandments? not Christ's commandments.
Mat 5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness
shall exceed [the righteousness] of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall
in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
ME,
So according to you your righteousness will exceed the righteousness
of the scribes and pharisees to get yourself into heaven? is that what
your telling me?
Mat 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:
Mat 5:22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his
brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and
whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the
council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell
fire.
Mat 5:23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there
rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
Mat 5:24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way;
first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
Mat 5:25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in
the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the
judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into
prison.
Mat 5:26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come
out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
Mat 5:27 ¶ Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time,
Thou shalt not commit adultery:
Mat 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a
woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his
heart.
Mat 5:29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and
cast [it] from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members
should perish, and not [that] thy whole body should be cast into hell.
Mat 5:30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast
[it] from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members
should perish, and not [that] thy whole body should be cast into hell.
Mat 5:31 ¶ It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife,
let him give her a writing of divorcement:
Mat 5:32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his
wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit
adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth
adultery.
Mat 5:33 ¶ Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them
of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the
Lord thine oaths:
Mat 5:34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by
heaven; for it is God's throne:
Mat 5:35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by
Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
Mat 5:36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou
canst not make one hair white or black.
Mat 5:37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay:
for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
Mat 5:38 ¶ Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an
eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
Mat 5:39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but
whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other
also.
Mat 5:40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take
away thy coat, let him have [thy] cloke also.
Mat 5:41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go
with him twain.
Mat 5:42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that
would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
Mat 5:43 ¶ Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love
thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
Mat 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them
that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them
which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
Mat 5:45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is
in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good,
and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
Mat 5:46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have
ye? do not even the publicans the same?
Mat 5:47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more
[than others]? do not even the publicans so?
Mat 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is
in heaven is perfect.
Christ knew man can only try but with his death and those who faith in
him will resurrect with him by the spirit not by the flesh.
