Matthew 5:22-24
International Standard Version
22 But I say to you, anyone who is angry with his brother without a cause[a] will be subject to punishment. And whoever says to his brother ‘Raka!’[b] will be subject to the Council.[c] And whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be subject to hell[d] fire.
23 “So if you are presenting your gift at the altar and remember there that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your gift there before the altar and first go and be reconciled to your brother. Then come and offer your gift.
