Church Fathers on Matthew 5:23
If it be not lawful to be angry with a brother, or to say to him Racha, or Thou fool, much less is it lawful to keep in the memory any thing which might convert anger into hate.
It is not, If thou hast ought against thy brother; but 'If thy brother has ought against thee,' that the necessity of reconciliation may be more imperative.
But if it is he that hath done you the wrong, and yet you be the first to seek reconciliation, you shall have a great reward.
