“To purposefully reject any commandment was tantamount to rejecting God’s right to rule one’s life.” Chronological Bible
Jesus had just given the beatitudes and said that they would be the things, the attitudes, that set them apart. In verses 17-20 he gives a broad view of righteousness that he will break down through chapter 7. (Chapters 5, 6, and 7 are the complete Sermon on the Mount.) Jesus is about to blow the folks minds. He makes the statement that he is not abolishing the law but fulfilling it. The Law was the Ten Commandments…or actually the entire collection of the sacred books of the Old Testament.
In Greek, law, nomos, in the New Testament is “of divine laws; of a force or influence impelling to action; of the Mosaic Law; of the books which contain the law, the Pentateuch, the Old Testament scripture in general. The law with emphasis on the first five books of the Old Testament.” (nomos Bible Hub)
