Murder Begins in the Heart

21 “You have heard that it was said to those1 of old, a‘You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.’  
22 But I say to you that awhoever is angry with his brother1 without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, b‘Raca!’ shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says,3 ‘You fool!’ shall be in danger of4 hell fire.  
23 Therefore aif you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you,  
24 aleave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.  
25 aAgree with your adversary quickly, bwhile you are on the way with him, lest your adversary deliver you to the judge, the judge hand you over to the officer, and you be thrown into prison.  
26 Assuredly, I say to you, you will by no means get out of there till you have paid the last penny.
