- Matthew 5:22
But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, ‘Raca,’ will be subject to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be subject to the fire of hell.
Commentary on Matthew 5:222 voices
So that this righteousness does not exceed theirs. But Christ teaches, that we ought not, for any cause, to be so angry as to call any man Raca, or fool. We ought not, for any cause, to be angry at the person of the sinner, but at his sins only.
John Wesley· Explanatory Notes upon the New Testament, 1755Evangelical
We are passing judgment on him and that is murder.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer· The Cost of Discipleship, 1937
