Matthew 5:23-26

23So if you are presenting your offering at the altar, and while there you remember that your brother has something [such as a grievance or legitimate complaint] against you,

24leave your offering there at the altar and go. First make peace with your brother, and then come and present your offering.

25Come to terms quickly [at the earliest opportunity] with your opponent at law while you are with him on the way [to court], so that your opponent does not hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you are thrown into prison.

26I assure you and most solemnly say to you, you will not come out of there until you have paid the last cent.
