^5:21 You have heard that it was said to the ancients, 'Do not murder' and 'Anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.' ^5:22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, 'Raca,' will be subject to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be subject to the fire of hell.

If someone slaps you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also; ^5:43 You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor' and 'Hate your enemy.' ^5:44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.

^15:4 For God said, 'Honor your father and mother' and 'Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.' ^15:5 But you say that if anyone says to his father or mother, 'Whatever you would have received from me is a gift devoted to God,' ^15:6 he need not honor his father or mother with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition.

Matthew 5:21–25

^5:21 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: ^5:22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. ^5:23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; ^5:24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. ^5:25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.

^5:21 You have heard that it was said to the ancients, 'Do not murder' and 'Anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.' ^5:22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, 'Raca,' will be subject to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be subject to the fire of hell. ^5:23 So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, ^5:24 leave your gift there before the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift. ^5:25 Reconcile quickly with your adversary, while you are still on the way to court. Otherwise, he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison.

Psalm 15:1; Psalm 15:4–5

^15:1 Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? ^15:4 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the Lord. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not. ^15:5 He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.

^15:1 A Psalm of David. O LORD, who may abide in Your tent? Who may dwell on Your holy mountain? ^15:4 who despises the vile but honors those who fear the LORD, who does not revise a costly oath, ^15:5 who lends his money without interest and refuses a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things will never be shaken.
