Matthew 5:21-26 NAS
"You have
heard that the ancients were told, 'YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT MURDER' and
'Whoever commits murder shall be liable to the court.' But I say to
you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the
court; and whoever says to his brother, 'You good-for-nothing,' shall be
guilty before the supreme court; and whoever says, 'You fool,' shall be
guilty enough to go into the fiery hell. Therefore if you are
presenting your offering at the altar, and there remember that your
brother has something against you, leave your offering there before the
altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and
present your offering. Make friends quickly with your opponent at
law while you are with him on the way, so that your opponent may not hand
you over to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you be thrown into
prison. Truly I say to you, you will not come out of there until you
have paid up the last cent.
