matthew 5:25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. - Free Bible Online

matthew 5:25 "Make friends quickly with your opponent at law while you are with him on the way, in order that your opponent may not deliver you to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you be thrown into prison.


      25. Agree with thine adversary--thine opponent in a matter cognizable by law.
      quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him--"to the magistrate," as in Lu 12:58.
      lest at any time--here, rather, "lest at all," or simply "lest."
      the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge--having pronounced thee in the wrong.
      deliver thee to the officer--the official whose business it is to see the sentence carried into effect.

JFB.
