Augustine of Hippo, on Matt 5:17

“Do not think that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets. I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.”

“(ubi sup.) Otherwise; he who breaks the least of these commandments, that is, of Moses’ Law, and teaches men so, shall be called the least; but he who shall do (these least), and so teach, shall not indeed be esteemed great, yet not so little as he who breaks them. That he should be great, he ought to do and to teach the things which Christ now teaches.”
