Matthew 5:21-22

21“1You have heard that 2the ancients were told, ‘3You shall not commit murder’ and ‘Whoever commits murder shall be 4liable to 5the court.’

22But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be 6guilty before 7the court; and whoever says to his brother, ‘8You good-for-nothing,’ shall be 9guilty before 10 11the supreme court; and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ shall be 12guilty enough to go into the 13 14fiery hell.
