Matthew 5:21-22
Murder Begins in the Heart
21 “You have heard that it was said to our ancestors,(a) Do not murder,(A)(b) and whoever murders will be subject to judgment.(B)
22 But I tell you, everyone who is angry with his brother(c) will be subject to judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Fool!’(d) will be subject to the Sanhedrin. But whoever says, ‘You moron!’ will be subject to hellfire.(e)(C)
