Matthew 5:19

"Whosoever therefore shall loose one of these least directions, and shall teach humans so, shall be called least in the realm of upward-vision: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the realm of upward-vision."

The Greek word LUO is employed in very many ways in the New Testament.  The Etymological New Testament makes the usage of this Greek verb much more transparent to the English reader than most translations.  And, it allows the reader to think about the possible ways to understand this verse.  It may well mean to "break" per the KJV and its descendants.  Or, it may convey a more subtle way of "loosing" Jesus' teaching.  Often, we say that we embrace what he is teaching and then twist or otherwise ignore what he is saying. To employ any tactic that diminishes Jesus' "directions" is to become least in this new realm of highest, upward vision.  One example among many: we affirm that we love the Prince of Peace and his teachings of non-violence, then we proceed to excuse our own violence toward others, e.g. "it's state sanctioned" or "I'm helping them learn."  May our aspiration be: "called great in the realm of upward-vision."
