Matthew 5:25-26 ▼

25 Come to terms quickly [at the earliest opportunity] with your opponent at law while you are with him on the way [to court], so that your opponent does not hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you are thrown into prison.

26 I assure you and most solemnly say to you, you will not come out of there until you have paid the last cent.
