Matthew 5:21-26
Living Bible
21 “Under the laws of Moses the rule was, ‘If you murder, you must die.’ 22 But I have added to that rule and tell you[a]
23 “So if you are standing before the altar in the Temple, offering a sacrifice to God, and suddenly remember that a friend has something against you, 24 leave your sacrifice there beside the altar and go and apologize and be reconciled to him, and then come and offer your sacrifice to God. 25 Come to terms quickly with your enemy before it is too late and he drags you into court and you are thrown into a debtor’s cell, 26 for you will stay there until you have paid the last penny.

Nueva Traducción Viviente
Enseñanza acerca del enojo
21 »Han oído que a nuestros antepasados se les dijo: “No asesines. Si cometes asesinato quedarás sujeto a juicio”[a] . 22 Pero yo digo: aun si te enojas con alguien,[b] ¡quedarás sujeto a juicio! Si llamas a alguien idiota,[c] corres peligro de que te lleven ante el tribunal; y si maldices a alguien,[d] corres peligro de caer en los fuegos del infierno.[e]
23 »Por lo tanto, si presentas una ofrenda en el altar del templo y de pronto recuerdas que alguien tiene algo contra ti, 24 deja la ofrenda allí en el altar. Anda y reconcíliate con esa persona. Luego ven y presenta tu ofrenda a Dios.
25 »Cuando vayas camino al juicio con tu adversario, resuelvan rápidamente las diferencias. De no ser así, el que te acusa podría entregarte al juez, quien te entregará a un oficial y te meterán en la cárcel. 26 Si eso sucede, te aseguro que no te pondrán en libertad hasta que hayas pagado el último centavo.[f]

Matthew 5:21-26
New International Version
Murder(A)
21 “You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘You shall not murder,[a](B) and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’ 22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry(C) with a brother or sister[b][c] will be subject to judgment.(D) Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, ‘Raca,’[d] is answerable to the court.(E) And anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell.(F)
23 “Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you, 24 leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift.
25 “Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still together on the way, or your adversary may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. 26 Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.
