Matthew 5:22-24
New King James Version
22 But I say to you that (A)whoever is angry with his brother [a]without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, (B)‘Raca!’[b] shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, [c]‘You fool!’ shall be in danger of [d]hell fire. 23 Therefore (C)if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24 (D)leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.

22 But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be answerable to (A)the court; and whoever says to his brother, ‘[a]You good-for-nothing,’ shall be answerable to [b](B)the supreme court; 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 you 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.

22 But I say to you that everyone who continues to be angry with his brother or harbors malice against him shall be guilty before the court; and whoever speaks [contemptuously and insultingly] to his brother, [a]‘Raca (You empty-headed idiot)!’ shall be guilty before the supreme court (Sanhedrin); and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be in danger of the [b]fiery hell. 23 So if you are presenting your offering at the altar, and while there you remember that your brother has something [such as a grievance or legitimate complaint] against you, 24 leave your offering there at the altar and go. First make peace with your brother, and then come and present your offering.
