Summary of Matthew 5 exegesis: Law fulfilled (completed), not abolished; accomplished in totality, not stripped piece by piece; not relaxed but done

Three pairs summarize Matthew 5:17-19: (1) The Law was not abolished—it was fulfilled (completed, accomplished). (2) The Law was not stripped of various commands (iota/tittle)—it was accomplished in its entirety. (3) The commands were not relaxed—they were done/fulfilled by Jesus. "Fulfill" carries a sense of completion that at least potentially changes how the text applies after fulfillment.
