What does the scripture mean in (KJV) Matthew 5:22 where it says whoever is angry without a cause
Not sure how to apply this verse with the added “without a cause”. it seems to leave a whole lot of room for error if I have to decide if my anger is with good cause or not. I have no problem with other translations, but have been raised on King James version and always thought that it was the most accurate word for word.
Matthew 5:22
ESV - 22 But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, 'You fool!' will be liable to the hell of fire.
