Matthew 23:16-24

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.

23WoeG3759 unto you, scribesG1122 and PhariseesG5330, hypocritesG5273! for ye tithe mintG2238 and anise and cummin, and have leftG863 undone the weightierG926 matters of the lawG3551, justiceG2920, and mercyG1656, and faithG4102: but these ye oughtG1163 to have done, and not to have leftG863 the other undone. 24Ye blindG5185 guidesG3595, that strain out the gnat, and swallowG2666 the camelG2574!
