========================
Matthew 5:21-26
========================
21“You have heard that it was
said to the people long ago, ‘You shall not murder, and anyone who murders will
be subject to judgment.’
22But I tell you that anyone
who is angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgment. Again,
anyone who says to a brother or sister, ‘Raca,’ is answerable to the court. And
anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell.
23“Therefore, if you are
offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister
has something against you,
24leave your gift there in
front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer
your gift.
25“Settle matters quickly
with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still
together on the way, or your adversary may hand you over to the judge, and the
judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison.
26Truly I tell you, you will
not get out until you have paid the last penny.
