‏ 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.
