Matthew 23:11-16
11TheG3588 greatestG3173 among youG4771 shall beG1510 yourG4771 servantG1249. 12ForG1161 whoeverG3748 exaltsG5312 himselfG1438 will be humbledG5013, andG2532 whoeverG3748 humblesG5013 himselfG1438 will be exaltedG5312.
WoeG3759 to youG4771, scribesG1122 andG2532 PhariseesG5330, you hypocritesG5273! You shutG2808 theG3588 kingdomG932 ofG3588 heavenG3772 in men’s facesG1715G3588G444. You yourselvesG4771 do not enterG3756G1525, norG3761 will you letG863 inG1525 those whoG3588 wish to enterG1525.1
15WoeG3759 to youG4771, scribesG1122 andG2532 PhariseesG5330, you hypocritesG5273! You traverseG4013 land andG2532 seaG2281 to winG4160 a singleG1520 convertG4339, andG2532 whenG3752 he becomesG1096 one, you makeG4160 himG846 twice as muchG1362 a sonG5207 of hellG10672 as you areG4771.
16WoeG3759 to youG4771, blindG5185 guidesG3595! You sayG3004, ‘If anyoneG3739G302 swearsG3660 byG1722 theG3588 templeG3485, it meansG1510 nothingG3762; butG1161 if anyoneG3739G302 swearsG3660 byG1722 theG3588 goldG5557 of theG3588 templeG3485, he is bound by his oathG3784.’
