(45) Anger and Reconciliation

Matthew 5:21-26

      [21]”You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not kill,[1] and whoever kills shall be in danger of the judgment.’ [22]But I say to you, that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca,’ shall be in danger of being brought before the Council. But whoever says, ‘You fool,’ shall be in danger of hell fire.

      [23]”Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar and remember that your brother has something against you, [24]leave your gift there before the altar and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.

      [25]”Agree with your adversary quickly, on the way to court with him. For if you don’t, the adversary may deliver you to the judge, and the judge will deliver you to the officer, and you will be thrown into prison. [26]Truly, I tell you, you will by no means get out of there until you have paid the last penny of your debt.


(45) Anger and Reconciliation

Matthew 5:21-26, KJV

21 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: 22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. 23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; 24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. 25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. 26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
