²¹ “^(C)You have heard that ^[b]the ancients were told, ‘^(D)You shall not murder’ and ‘Whoever murders shall be guilty before ^(E)the court.’ ²² But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before ^(F)the court; and whoever says to his brother, ‘^[c]Raca,’ shall be guilty before the ^[d](G)Sanhedrin; and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ shall be guilty enough to go into the ^[e](H)fiery hell. ²³ Therefore if you are ^(I)presenting your ^[f]offering at the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, ²⁴ leave your ^[g]offering there before the altar and go; first be ^(J)reconciled to your brother, and then come and present your ^[h]offering.
