☆ Gospel:Matthew 5:20-26
20
For I say to you, If your righteousness is not greater than the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never go into the kingdom of heaven.
21
You have knowledge that it was said in old times, You may not put to death; and, Whoever puts to death will be in danger of being judged:
22
But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be in danger of being judged; and he who says to his brother, Raca, will be in danger from the Sanhedrin; and whoever says, You foolish one, will be in danger of the hell of fire.
23
If then you are making an offering at the altar and there it comes to your mind that your brother has something against you,
24
While your offering is still before the altar, first go and make peace with your brother, then come and make your offering.
25
Come to an agreement quickly with him who has a cause against you at law, while you are with him on the way, for fear that he may give you up to the judge and the judge may give you to the police and you may be put into prison.
26
Truly I say to you, You will not come out from there till you have made payment of the very last farthing.

☆ Ezekiel 18:21-28
21
But if the evil-doer, turning away from all the sins which he has done, keeps my rules and does what is ordered and right, life will certainly be his; death will not be his fate.
22
Not one of the sins which he has done will be kept in memory against him: in the righteousness which he has done he will have life.
23
Have I any pleasure in the death of the evil-doer? says the Lord: am I not pleased if he is turned from his way so that he may have life?
24
But when the upright man, turning away from his righteousness, does evil, like all the disgusting things which the evil man does, will he have life? Not one of his upright acts will be kept in memory: in the wrong which he has done and in his sin death will overtake him.
25
But you say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Give ear, now, O children of Israel; is my way not equal? are not your ways unequal?
26
When the upright man, turning away from his righteousness, does evil, death will overtake him; in the evil which he has done death will overtake him.
27
Again, when the evil-doer, turning away from the evil he has done, does what is ordered and right, he will have life for his soul.
28
Because he had fear and was turned away from all the wrong which he had done, life will certainly be his, death will not be his fate.
