New American Standard Bible 1995

Matthew 5:22-24

22But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be 1guilty before 2the court; and whoever says to his brother, ‘3You good-for-nothing,’ shall be 4guilty before 5 6the supreme court; and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ shall be 7guilty enough to go into the 8 9fiery hell.

23Therefore if you are 10presenting your 11offering at the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you,

24leave your 12offering there before the altar and go; first be 13reconciled to your brother, and then come and present your 14offering.
