Matthew 23:13-22
13But woeG3759 unto you, scribesG1122 and PhariseesG5330, hypocritesG5273! because ye shutG2808 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 against menG444: for ye enterG1525 not in yourselvesG4771, neither suffer ye them that are enteringG1525 in to enterG1525. 141
15WoeG3759 unto you, scribesG1122 and PhariseesG5330, hypocritesG5273! for ye compass seaG2281 and land to makeG4160 oneG1520 proselyte; and whenG3752 he is becomeG1096 so, ye makeG4160 him twofold more a sonG5207 of hellG1067 than yourselves.
16WoeG3759 unto you, ye blindG5185 guidesG3595, that sayG3004, Whosoever shall swearG3660 by the templeG3485, it isG1510 nothing; but whosoever shall swearG3660 by the goldG5557 of the templeG3485, he isG1510 a debtor. 17Ye fools and blindG5185: for which isG1510 greaterG3173, the goldG5557, or the templeG3485 that hath sanctifiedG37 the goldG5557? 18And, Whosoever shall swearG3660 by the altarG2379, it isG1510 nothing; but whosoever shall swearG3660 by the giftG1435 that isG1510 upon it, he isG1510 a debtor. 19Ye blindG5185: for which is greaterG3173, the giftG1435, or the altarG2379 that sanctifieth the giftG1435? 20He thereforeG3767 that sweareth by the altarG2379, sweareth by it, and by all thingsG3956 thereon. 21And he that sweareth by the templeG3485, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein. 22And he that sweareth by the heavenG3772, sweareth by the throneG2362 of GodG2316, and by him that sitteth thereon.
