Matthew 5:25

     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.
