Matthew 15:4-8

4ForG1063 GodG2316 saidG2036, ‘HonorG5091 your fatherG3962 andG2532 motherG3384’1 andG2532 ‘Anyone whoG3588 cursesG2551 his fatherG3962 orG2228 motherG3384 must be put to deathG2288G5053.’2 5ButG1161 youG4771 say thatG3004 if anyoneG3739G302 saysG2036 toG3588 his fatherG3962 orG2228 motherG3384, ‘WhateverG3739 you would have receivedG1437G5623 fromG1537 meG1473 is a gift devotedG1435 to God,’ 6he need not honorG3756G3361G5091 hisG846 fatherG3962 orG2228 motherG3384 with it.3 ThusG2532 you nullifyG208 theG3588 wordG3056 of GodG2316 for the sake ofG1223 yourG4771 traditionG3862. 7You hypocritesG5273! IsaiahG2268 prophesiedG4395 correctlyG2573 aboutG4012 youG4771:

8‘TheseG3778 peopleG2992 honorG5091 MeG1473 with theirG3588 lipsG5491,butG1161 theirG846 heartsG2588 are farG568G4206 fromG575 MeG1473.
