Genesis 6:1-10
1 When human beings began to increase in
number on the earth and daughters were born to them,
2 the sons of god saw that the daughters of humans were
beautiful, and they married any of them they chose.
3 Then the LORD said, “My Spirit will not contend with humans
forever, for they are mortal; their
days will be a hundred and twenty years.”
4 The Nephilim were on the earth in
those days—and also afterward—when the sons of god went to the daughters of
humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.
5 The LORD saw how great the
wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination
of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time.
6 The LORD regretted that he had made human
beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled.
7 So the LORD said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth
the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the
creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.”
8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of the
LORD.
9 This is the account of Noah and his family. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he
walked faithfully with God.
10 Noah had
three sons: Shem, Ham and Japheth.
Matthew 5:21-26
21 “You have heard
that it was said to the people long ago, ‘You shall not murder, and
anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’
22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry
with a brother or sister will be
subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, ‘Raca,’ is
answerable to the court. And anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of
the fire of hell.
23 "Therefore,
if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother
or sister has something against you,
24 leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go
and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift.
25 “Settle
matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you
are still together on the way, or your adversary may hand you over to the judge,
and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into
prison.
26 Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last
penny.
