Teaching about murder and anger

Mat 5:21–26

5:21 Teaching about murder and anger

21 “You’ve all heard that your ancestors were told not to murder,[ref] because any murderer will be sentenced. 22 But I’m telling you that anyone who gets angry at another will be liable for judgement, and anyone who calls another person a numbskull will have to face the court, and if you call them a fool, you’re liable for hellfire. 23 So if you’re there at the altar to offer your gift and remember that someone has something against you, 24 leave your gift there at the altar and go and sort that out first, before coming back to offer your gift.

25 “Resolve things with your opponent as soon as you can, hopefully while you’re still on the way to the court, in case your opponent turns you in to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and then you’ll end up in prison. 26 I can assure you that you won’t get out of prison until the fine is completely paid.

21 You _all _heard that it _was _said to _the ancients:
You_˓will˒_ not _be _murdering, and whoever, wishfully may _murder, will _be liable to _the judgement.

22 But I am _saying to _you _all that everyone which being _angered by _the brother of _him, will _be liable to _the judgement, and whoever wishfully may _say to _the brother of _him:
Raca, will _be liable to _the council, and whoever wishfully may _say:
Foolish, will _be liable to the geenna of_ the _fire.

23 Therefore 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,

24 leave the gift of _you there before the altar.
And be _going _away, first be _reconciled to _the brother of _you, and then having _come, be _offering the gift of _you.

25 Be agreeing with _the opponent of _you quickly, as _long _as which you _are with him on the way, lest the opponent may _give_ you _over to _the judge, and the judge to _the attendant, and you _will _be _being _thrown into prison.

26 Truly I _am _saying to _you, by _no _means you _may_ not _come _out from _there, until wishfully you _may _give _back the last quadran.

5:21: Exo 20:13; Deu 5:17.
