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.
But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother (note: BYZ and TR include without cause.) will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, ‘Raca (note: Raca is an Aramaic expression of contempt.),’ will be subject to the Sanhedrin (note: Or the Council). But anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be subject to the fire of hell (note: Or the hell of fire; Greek the Gehenna of fire).
