A Poem of Jesus Christ
from The New English Bible (1970):
Matthew 5:21-22
You have learned that our forefathers were told,
"Do not commit murder;
anyone who commits murder
must be brought to judgement."
But what I tell you is this:
Anyone who nurses anger
against his brother
must be brought to judgement.
If he abuses his brother
he must answer for it to the court;
if he sneers at him
he will have to answer for it
in the fires of hell.
