Matthew 5:22-24
Legacy Standard Bible
22 But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before (A)the court; and whoever says to his brother, ‘[a]Raca,’ shall be guilty before the [b](B)Sanhedrin; and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ shall be guilty enough to go into the [c](C)fiery hell. 23 Therefore if you are (D)presenting your [d]offering at the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your [e]offering there before the altar and go; first be (E)reconciled to your brother, and then come and present your [f]offering.
