Right now we're not going to concern ourselves,

现在我们不要纠缠这些
we're just going to say, Matthew could have written this

就算马太也许真的写过
but we're trying to figure out what did Matthew want to do with it.

我们也要找出马太福音要表达的确切意思
What was this testament to them?

立的约对他们意味着什么呢
Obviously it means this writer believes that

很明显意味着作者相信
the proper Gospel and the proper church should be a Law abiding church.

好的福音正确的教会都应遵守律法

希望信徒不要远离犹太律法
Look at "the antitheses,"

再看看一些对偶句

我们称之为"马太对偶"
5:21: "'You have heard that it was said to those in ancient times

you shall not murder,
