Matthew 5:21-22
“You have heard that our ancestors were told, ‘You must not
murder. If you commit murder, you are subject to judgment.’ But I say, if
you are even angry with someone, you are subject to judgment! If you call
someone an idiot, you are in danger of being brought before the court. And if
you curse someone, you are in danger of the fires of hell.
Anger (Old

When we were in the old

In the new life we live by the law of our heart, by forgiveness, love,
and compassion. Do not even be angry with someone that you would judge them
unfairly, do not curse them that
