Matthew 5:24-26

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁴ leave your gift there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother or sister,^[a] and then come and offer your gift. ²⁵ Come to terms quickly with your accuser while you are on the way to court^[b] with him, or your accuser may hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you will be thrown into prison. ²⁶ Truly I tell you, you will never get out until you have paid the last penny.
