Luke 12:57-59

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁵⁷ So why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right? ⁵⁸ For instance, when an opponent brings you to court in front of a ruler, do your best to settle with him before you get there. Otherwise, he will drag you in front of a judge. The judge will hand you over to an officer who will throw you into prison. ⁵⁹ I can guarantee that you won’t get out until you pay every penny of your fine.”
