Matthew 5:22

Made Simple — Modern English Translation

Translated by Verse Made Simple Editorial
KJV ORIGINAL
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.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

But I'm telling you — anyone who holds onto anger against someone else is headed for judgment. If you call someone worthless, you're risking serious consequences. And if you straight-up call someone a fool, you're playing with hell itself.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Your anger and the words you use to tear people down have real consequences — choose them carefully.
