Strong's King James
(22) But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother is subject to the judgement and whoever says to his brother, 'Reqa! (Empty-head - good for nothing)' is subject before the Sanhedrin and whoever says, 'You stupid fool is subject to go into Gei-Hinnom (hell) of fire.'
The F.O.G
But I reveal a deeper truth: Anyone who harbors anger against another is subject to judgment. Anyone who says to a brother or sister, 'You fool!' is in danger of hell's fire. Contempt and character assassination are forms of murder in the heart.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
