Key Observations from Nave's Organization¶

Nave's catalogs Jesus's precepts as a distinct section within COMMANDMENTS -- they are categorized alongside the OT commandments, not as a replacement system.
The LAW topic includes both "general scriptures" (which cite 1JN 3:4 and 5:3 alongside MAT 22:21 and LUK 16:17) and a "TEMPORARY" subsection -- showing the tension that this study investigates.
The JUDGMENT topic includes MAT 7:22,23 (the anomia passage) and MAT 23:14 -- connecting judgment to lawlessness and the Pharisees' violation.
MERCY cites both MAT 23:23 (weightier matters) and MIC 6:8 (the OT parallel Jesus echoes).
PHARISEES shows Jesus reproved their tradition-over-commandment approach (MAT 15:1-9; MRK 7:1-15) and their hypocrisy (MAT 23:2-33).
