21“1You have heardG191 that 2the ancientsG744 were toldG3004, ‘3You shall not commitG5407 murderG5407’ and ‘WhoeverG3739 G302 commitsG5407 murderG5407 shall be 4liableG1777 to 5the courtG2920.’

22But I sayG3004 to you that everyoneG3956 who is angryG3710 with his brotherG80 shall be 6guiltyG1777 before 7the courtG2920; and whoeverG3739 G302 saysG3004 to his brotherG80, ‘8You good-for-nothingG4469,’ shall be 9guiltyG1777 before 10 11the supremeG4892 courtG4892; and whoeverG3739 G302 saysG3004, ‘You foolG3474,’ shall be 12guiltyG1777 enough to go into the 13 14fieryG4442 hellG1067.
