Matthew 5:21-22

21“1You have heard that 2the ancients were told, ‘3You shall not murder,’ and ‘Whoever commits murder shall be answerable to 4the court.’

22But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be answerable to 5the court; and whoever says to his brother, ‘6You good-for-nothing,’ shall be answerable to 78the supreme court; and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ shall be guilty enough to go into the 910fiery hell.
