  2. Explication du texte

What kind of judgment will there be for the one who is unrighteously angry with his brother?

Matthieu 5:22 (NEG79)

22 Mais moi, je vous dis que quiconque se met en colère contre son frère est passible de jugement; que celui qui dira à son frère: Raca! mérite d'être puni par le sanhédrin; et que celui qui lui dira: Insensé! mérite d'être puni par le feu de la géhenne.

The judgment in view is not that of an earthly court but the heavenly court. An earthly court cannot make judgments over what is secret (desires and thoughts), but God’s can and he will (see Ecclesiastes 12:14; Luke 8:17; Luke 12:3; Romans 2:16). When people are unrighteously angry with one another, damaging personal relationships, they also damage their relationship with God. 1
