Matthew 5:22-24

22But I sayG3004 to you that everyoneG3956 who is angryG3710 with his brotherG80 shall be 1guiltyG1777 before 2the courtG2920; and whoeverG3739G302 saysG3004 to his brotherG80, ‘3You good-for-nothingG4469,’ shall be 4guiltyG1777 before 56the supremeG4892 courtG4892; and whoeverG3739G302 saysG3004, ‘You foolG3474,’ shall be 7guiltyG1777 enough to go into the 89fieryG4442 hellG1067.

23ThereforeG3767 ifG1437 you are 10presentingG4374 your 11offeringG1435 at the altarG2379, and thereG2546 rememberG3403 that your brotherG80 hasG2192 somethingG5100 againstG2596 you,

24leaveG863 your 12offeringG1435 thereG1563 beforeG1715 the altarG2379 and goG5217; firstG4413 be 13reconciledG1259 to your brotherG80, and thenG5119 comeG2064 and presentG4374 your 14offeringG1435.
