Throughout his gospel, Matthew presents the concept of "better righteousness": one that not only observes the Torah, but follows the interpretation and spirituality of Jesus in the mode of disciplehood.

Therefore, Matthew believes that the interpretation given by Jesus is the only proper understanding of the law, that is, he preaches an orthodox interpretation of Jesus' moral values.
