Think not that I am come to destroy [do away with WU] the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. Mat 5:17

Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the [be put to] death.
