Matthew 23:13-22

13

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.’ 17You blindG5185 foolsG3474! WhichG5101 isG1510 greaterG3173: theG3588 goldG5557, orG2228 theG3588 templeG3485 that makes it sacredG37G3588G5557? 18AndG2532 you say, ‘If anyoneG3739G302 swearsG3660 byG1722 theG3588 altarG2379, it meansG1510 nothingG3762; butG1161 if anyoneG3739G302 swearsG3660 byG1722 theG3588 giftG1435 onG1883 itG846, he is bound by his oathG3784.’ 19You blind menG5185! WhichG5101 is greaterG3173: theG3588 giftG1435, orG2228 theG3588 altarG2379 that makes it sacredG37G3588G1435? 20So thenG3767, he whoG3588 swearsG3660 byG1722 theG3588 altarG2379 swearsG3660 byG1722 itG846 andG2532 byG1722 everythingG3956 onG1883 itG846. 21AndG2532 he whoG3588 swearsG3660 byG1722 theG3588 templeG3485 swearsG3660 byG1722 itG846 andG2532 byG1722 theG3588 One who dwellsG2730 in itG846. 22AndG2532 he whoG3588 swearsG3660 byG1722 heavenG3772 swearsG3660 byG1722 God’sG2316 throneG2362 andG2532 byG1722 theG3588 One who sitsG2521 onG1883 itG846.
