Matthew 5:21-26

Listen to Matthew 5:21-26

21 You have knowledge that it was said in old times, You may not put to death; and, Whoever puts to death will be in danger of being judged:

22 But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be in danger of being judged; and he who says to his brother, Raca, will be in danger from the Sanhedrin; and whoever says, You foolish one, will be in danger of the hell of fire.

23 If then you are making an offering at the altar and there it comes to your mind that your brother has something against you,

24 While your offering is still before the altar, first go and make peace with your brother, then come and make your offering.

25 Come to an agreement quickly with him who has a cause against you at law, while you are with him on the way, for fear that he may give you up to the judge and the judge may give you to the police and you may be put into prison.

26 Truly I say to you, You will not come out from there till you have made payment of the very last farthing.
