Least commandments; least, as compared with others. No precept of God's law may be set aside on the ground of its comparative unimportance; for the least disobedience to any command of God is highly offensive to him, while obedience in all things is his delight.

The least; of the least repute as a teacher, because both by his example and his doctring he dishonors God's law.

Great; worthy of honor as a teacher, because he honors the law by obeying it and teaching others to obey it.
