Matthew 5:
20 - 26
|
| 20 |
For I tell you, unless your righteousness
exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of
heaven. |
| 21 |
"You have heard that it was said to the men
of old, `You shall not kill; and whoever kills shall be liable to judgment.'
|
| 22 |
But I say to you that every one who is angry
with his brother shall be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother shall
be liable to the council, and whoever says, `You fool!' shall be liable to the
hell of fire. |
| 23 |
So if you are offering your gift at the
altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you,
|
| 24 |
leave your gift there before the altar and
go; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
|
| 25 |
Make friends quickly with your accuser,
while you are going with him to court, lest your accuser hand you over to the
judge, and the judge to the guard, and you be put in prison; |
| 26 |
truly, I say to you, you will never get out
till you have paid the last penny. |
