Matthew 23:23-28
23WoeG3759 to youG4771, scribesG1122 andG2532 PhariseesG5330, you hypocritesG5273! You pay tithes ofG586 mintG2238, dillG432, andG2532 cuminG2951. ButG2532 you have disregardedG863 theG3588 weightierG926 matters of theG3588 lawG3551: justiceG2920, mercyG1656, andG2532 faithfulnessG4102. You should haveG1163 practicedG4160 the latterG3778, withoutG1161G3361 neglectingG863 the formerG2548. 24You blindG5185 guidesG3595! You strain outG1368 a gnatG2971 butG1161 swallowG2666 a camelG2574.1
25WoeG3759 to youG4771, scribesG1122 andG2532 PhariseesG5330, you hypocritesG5273! You cleanG2511 theG3588 outsideG1855 of theG3588 cupG4221 andG2532 dishG3953, butG1161 insideG2081 they are fullG1073 ofG1537 greedG724 andG2532 self-indulgenceG192. 26BlindG5185 PhariseeG5330! FirstG4412 cleanG2511 theG3588 insideG1787 of theG3588 cupG4221 andG2532 dishG3953,2 so thatG2443 theG3588 outsideG1622 may becomeG1096 cleanG2513 as wellG2532.
27WoeG3759 to youG4771, scribesG1122 andG2532 PhariseesG5330, you hypocritesG5273! You are likeG3945 whitewashedG2867 tombsG5028, whichG3748 lookG5316 beautifulG5611 on the outsideG1855 butG1161 on the insideG2081 are fullG1073 of deadG3498 men’s bonesG3747 andG2532 every kind ofG3956 impurityG167. 28In the same wayG3779G2532G3303, on the outsideG1855 youG4771 appear to beG5316G3588G444 righteousG1342, butG1161 on the insideG2081 you areG1510 fullG3324 of hypocrisyG5272 andG2532 wickednessG458.
