Orthodox ReadingYou have heard that it was saidⓘ to the ancientsⓘ: You shall not kill (Ex 20:13; Deut 5:17), the sixth word of the Ten Words; whoever has killed shall be subject to the judgmentⓘ.

Greekἐγὼ δὲ λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι πᾶς ὁ ὀργιζόμενος τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ εἰκῆ ἔνοχος ἔσται τῇ κρίσει· ὃς δ' ἂν εἴπῃ τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ, Ῥακά, ἔνοχος ἔσται τῷ συνεδρίῳ· ὃς δ' ἂν εἴπῃ, Μωρέ, ἔνοχος ἔσται εἰς τὴν γέενναν τοῦ πυρός.

Orthodox ReadingBut I say to you that whoever grows angryⓘ with his own brother shall be subject to the judgment; and whoever says to his own brother: Raqàⓘ, shall be called to answer before the Sanhedrin (the Sanhedrinⓘ); and whoever says: Foolⓘ, shall be liable to the Gehenna of fire (the Ghe-Hinnomⓘ).

Orthodox Readingleave your offering there before the altar and goⓘ, first be reconciled (restore the shalomⓘ) with your brother, and then, having returned, present your offering. This is the order: that which is between man and his fellowⓘ precedes that which is between man and the Placeⓘ.

GreekἼσθι εὐνοῶν τῷ ἀντιδίκῳ σου ταχὺ, ἕως ὅτου εἶ ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ μετ' αὐτοῦ, μήποτέ σε παραδῷ ὁ ἀντίδικος τῷ κριτῇ, καὶ ὁ κριτής σε παραδῷ τῷ ὑπηρέτῃ, καὶ εἰς φυλακὴν βληθήσῃ.

Orthodox ReadingBe well-disposedⓘ toward your adversary at lawⓘ promptly, while you are still with him along the roadⓘ, lest the adversary hand you over to the judgeⓘ, and the judge to the servant of the courtⓘ, and you be thrown into prison.

Greekἀμὴν λέγω σοι, οὐ μὴ ἐξέλθῃς ἐκεῖθεν, ἕως ἂν ἀποδῷς τὸν ἔσχατον κοδράντην.
