Mathews 5:21-22

[Pamelav]

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 says to his brother, ‘You good-for-nothing,’ shall be guilty before the supreme court; and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ shall be guilty enough to gointo the fiery hell.


So I recall something about the 'you fool' meaning defaming someone's character.

What does through greek say about these words. 'You good for nothing, you fool.'

Raca, is 'good for nothing' actually meaning 'empty head' a term of contempt.?

I would like a sophisticated accurate full explanation of what this poorly explained English translation is really supposed to look like.

Lol.

Odd actually.

to us it can puzzle, but God (there are 4 lines in my post-two are in bold font, another in grey and blue font and another in grey font...the blue word is a link to my blog, where by the rules of this forum, i place prophetic words)

I'll see if I can get the WUEST EXPANDED GREEK which is renouned as accurate and illustrates very much from the full greek meaning of the verbs, nouns, adjectives, and so forth that
often is not obvious in any English translation.
