Matthew 5:21-25
21“1You have heardG191 that 2the ancientsG744 were toldG3004, ‘3You shall not commitG5407 murderG5407’ and ‘WhoeverG3739G302 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 whoeverG3739G302 saysG3004 to his brotherG80, ‘8You good-for-nothingG4469,’ shall be 9guiltyG1777 before 1011the supremeG4892 courtG4892; and whoeverG3739G302 saysG3004, ‘You foolG3474,’ shall be 12guiltyG1777 enough to go into the 1314fieryG4442 hellG1067.
23ThereforeG3767 ifG1437 you are 15presentingG4374 your 16offeringG1435 at the altarG2379, and thereG2546 rememberG3403 that your brotherG80 hasG2192 somethingG5100 againstG2596 you,
24leaveG863 your 17offeringG1435 thereG1563 beforeG1715 the altarG2379 and goG5217; firstG4413 be 18reconciledG1259 to your brotherG80, and thenG5119 comeG2064 and presentG4374 your 19offeringG1435.
2520MakeG2132 friendsG2132 quicklyG5035 with your opponentG476 at lawG476 whileG2193 you are with him on the wayG3598, soG3379 that your opponentG476 may not handG3860 you over to the judgeG2923, and the judgeG2923 to the officerG5257, and you be thrownG906 into prisonG5438.
