Matthew 5:21-24 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Personal Relationships

²¹ “You have heard that ^[a]the ancients were told, ‘You shall not murder,’ and ‘Whoever commits murder shall be answerable to the court.’ ²² But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be answerable to the court; and whoever says to his brother, ‘^[b]You good-for-nothing,’ shall be answerable to ^[c]the supreme court; and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ shall be guilty enough to go into the ^[d]fiery hell. ²³ Therefore, if you are presenting your ^[e]offering at the altar, and there you remember that your brother has something against you, ²⁴ leave your ^[f]offering there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and present your ^[g]offering.
