Matthew 5:19-22

19WhoeverG3739 G1437 thenG3767 annulsG3089 oneG1520 of the leastG1646 of theseG3778 commandmentsG1785, and teachesG1321 1othersG444 to do the sameG3779, shall be calledG2564 leastG1646 2in the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772; but whoeverG3739 G302 3keepsG4160 and teachesG1321 them, he shall be calledG2564 greatG3173 in the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772.

20“For I sayG3004 to you that unlessG1437 G3361 your 4righteousnessG1343 surpassesG4052 that of the scribesG1122 and PhariseesG5330, you will not enterG1525 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772.

21“5You have heardG191 that 6the ancientsG744 were toldG3004, ‘7You shall not commitG5407 murderG5407’ and ‘WhoeverG3739 G302 commitsG5407 murderG5407 shall be 8liableG1777 to 9the courtG2920.’ 22But I sayG3004 to you that everyoneG3956 who is angryG3710 with his brotherG80 shall be 10guiltyG1777 before 11the courtG2920; and whoeverG3739 G302 saysG3004 to his brotherG80, ‘12You good-for-nothingG4469,’ shall be 13guiltyG1777 before 14 15the supremeG4892 courtG4892; and whoeverG3739 G302 saysG3004, ‘You foolG3474,’ shall be 16guiltyG1777 enough to go into the 17 18fieryG4442 hellG1067.
