Matthew 5:21 (First Antithesis)¶
Greek Text: Ἠκούσατε ὅτι ἐρρέθη τοῖς ἀρχαίοις Οὐ φονεύσεις· ὃς δ' ἂν φονεύσῃ, ἔνοχος ἔσται τῇ κρίσει.

Notes: "Ye have heard that it was said (errethe, aorist passive) to the ancients (tois archaiois)." The passive voice ("it was said") can be a divine passive (God said it) or simply "what was communicated." The formula is ekousate hoti errethe -- "You heard that it was said."
Matthew 5:22 (Jesus' Response)¶
Greek Text: ἐγὼ δὲ λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι πᾶς ὁ ὀργιζόμενος τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ ἔνοχος ἔσται τῇ κρίσει·

ὑμῖν σύ G4771 [P-2DP] Dat Pl
Notes: ego de lego humin = "But I say unto you" -- the ego (I) is emphatic, placed first. de is adversative ("but"). This formula does not say "Instead of what was said" or "Contrary to what was said" -- it says "But I say to you" (adding depth, not contradiction).
Matthew 5:27 (Second Antithesis)¶

Notes: esesthe = future middle indicative 2P of eimi = "you will be" -- this can be imperatival future ("you shall be") or predictive ("you will be"). teleios (G5046) = "perfect, complete, mature" -- from telos (end/goal). The standard for "exceeding" righteousness is perfection/completeness, measured by the Father's character.
