rwp @Matthew:5:17 @{I came not to destroy , but to fulfil } (\ouk ˆlthon katalusai alla pl ˆr “sai \). The verb "destroy " means to "loosen down " as of a house or tent (2Corinthians:5:1 |). Fulfil is to fill full . This Jesus did to the ceremonial law which pointed to him and the moral law he kept . "He came to fill the law , to reveal the full depth of meaning that it was intended to hold " (McNeile ).
