Matthew:5:21-26
Seeker Overlay ON
* "
You have heard that it was said to the ancients , "
Thou shall not commit murder ,
and "
he who commits murder shall be liable to condemnation by the court ;
*
but I say to you that he who becomes angry with his brother shall be liable to condemnation by the court ;
and he who says to his brother Raca ,
shall be liable to condemnation by the Sanhedrin ,
while he who curses his brother shall be liable to the Gehenna of Fire .
* "
If therefore when you are offering your gift upon the altar ,
and there remember that your brother has a grievance against you ,
* "
leave there your gift before the altar ,
and go and make friends with your brother ,
first of all ;
then come and offer your gift .
* "
Come to terms with your opponent quickly ,
while you are yet with him on the way to the court ,
to prevent your opponent from handing you over to the judge ,
and the judge to the jailer ,
and so you be thrown into prison .
* "
I tell you truly that you would certainly not get out from there until you had paid back the last cent .
