Matthew 5:17 is a continuation of 5:16. They shouldn't be separated. To paraphrase: "Continue doing good works openly, for this honors God. What? Did you think I came to do away with good works?"

The light you must not hide is the love of God that you bring into the world. The Law and the Prophets tell you how to do that. #yeshua didn't do away w mercy, peace, kindness, and righteousness. These are the whole of the Law, therefore he did not do away with the Law. #torah
