Est ergo in interiori templo altare, id est fides, cui quodlibet munus, id est, psalmus, hymnus, oratio, et hujusmodi, nisi sit innixum non est Deo placiturum. Et ibi, etc., id est, cum in corde (quod est templum interius) tale munus oblaturus es, si in mentem venerit quod frater tuus habet aliquid adversum te, quem tu læsisti. Si enim ipse te læsit, non ipse, sed tu habes adversus eum: nec tunc oportet te veniam petere, sed dare sicut vis tibi dimitti.

Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs, red:words differ (from our SR-GNT base).
5:21-47 You have heard. . . . But I say: Jesus contrasts his own teaching to six misinterpretations of the law. Each antithesis provides an example of the surpassing righteousness of Jesus. Jesus reveals the will of God as it contrasts with traditions.
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
οὖν
therefore
Here, the word Therefore introduces an inference or conclusion based on what Jesus has said about being angry and insulting fellow believers. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces an inference or conclusion. Alternate translation: “So” or “Because of that”
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-condition-hypothetical
ἐὰν & προσφέρῃς τὸ δῶρόν σου ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον, κἀκεῖ μνησθῇς ὅτι ὁ ἀδελφός σου ἔχει τι κατὰ σοῦ
if & ˱you˲_/may_be/_offering the gift ˱of˲_you at the altar and_there ˱you˲_/may_be/_reminded that the brother ˱of˲_you /is/_having something against you
Jesus is suggesting that this is a hypothetical condition, that people in his audience might be at the altar and remember that a brother has something against them. Use a natural form in your language for introducing a situation that could happen. Alternate translation: “consider this situation: you are offering your gift at the altar, and there you remember that your brother has something against you. If that were to happen”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / youcrowd
προσφέρῃς & σου & μνησθῇς & σου & σοῦ
˱you˲_/may_be/_offering & ˱of˲_you & ˱you˲_/may_be/_reminded & ˱of˲_you & you
Even though Jesus is speaking to many disciples, he is addressing an individual situation, so you and your are singular throughout this verse. But if the singular form would not be natural in your language for someone who is speaking to a group of people, you could use the plural forms of you and your in your translation.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τὸ δῶρόν σου ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον
the gift ˱of˲_you at the altar
Here Jesus is referring to giving a gift to God at the altar in the temple in Jerusalem. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make these ideas more explicit. Alternate translation: “your gift to God at the altar in the temple”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ὁ ἀδελφός σου
the brother ˱of˲_you
Jesus is using the term brother to mean a person who follows Jesus and shares the same faith. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “a fellow disciple”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
ὁ ἀδελφός σου
the brother ˱of˲_you
Although the term brother is masculine, Jesus is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If you retain the metaphor in your translation, and if it would be helpful in your language, you could say “your brother or sister” to indicate this.
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἔχει τι κατὰ σοῦ
/is/_having something against you
Here, the phrase has something against you indicates that the brother has been offended or injured by you. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “is upset with you” or “has been offended by you”
