Matthew 5:21-26 - The Sermon On The Mount: Anger Toward Others

²¹ You have heard that it was said to the ancients: You shall not kill; and whoever shall kill, shall be liable to the sentence of the judges. ²² But I say to you, Whoever is angry with his brother without a cause, shall be liable to the sentence of the judges. And whoever shall say to his brother, Worthless fellow, shall be liable to the sentence of the Sanhedrin. But who ever shall say, Impious wretch, shall be in danger of hell-fire. ²³ If, therefore, you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has any thing against you, ²⁴ leave your gift there before the altar, and go, first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. ²⁵ Come to an agreement with your opponent at law quickly, while you are on the road with him, lest your opponent at law deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and you be thrown into prison. ²⁶ Verily, I say to you, You shall by no means come out thence, till you have paid the last farthing.
