(Matthew 5:3-11)

Christ did not come to correct and improve only the deeds of a person, but he wanted first to heal his corrupt motives. Therefore we read about killing and anger and hatred:

21 You have heard that the ancients were told, ‘You shall not commit murder’ and ‘Whoever commits murder shall be liable to the court.’ 22 But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court; and whoever shall say to his brother, ‘Raca,’ shall be guilty before the supreme court; and whoever shall say, ‘You fool,’ shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell.” (Matthew 5:21-22)
