which makes that part of the New Testament Pauls teaching and not Christ's.which also explains why you can't read Mathew as written, you're filtering it thru Paul's and probaby other's eyes.
Read what Christ Himself has to say, before you seek teaching from others. If Christ is truely your personal savior, what do you need Paul for?

Happy Easter
