Matthew 23:11-16
111But the greatestG3173 among you shall be your servantG1249. 122WhoeverG3748 exaltsG5312 himselfG1438 shall be humbledG5013; and whoeverG3748 humblesG5013 himselfG1438 shall be exaltedG5312.
13“3But woeG3759 to you, scribesG1122 and PhariseesG5330, hypocritesG5273, 4becauseG3754 you shutG2808 off the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 5from 6peopleG444; for you do not enterG1525 in yourselvesG4771, norG3761 do you allowG863 thoseG3588 who are enteringG1525 to goG1525 in. 14[7WoeG3759 to you, scribesG1122 and PhariseesG5330, hypocritesG5273, becauseG3754 8you devourG2719 widows’G5503 housesG3614, and for a pretenseG4392 you makeG4336 longG3117 prayersG4336; thereforeG1223G3778 you will receiveG2983 greaterG4053 condemnationG2917.]
15“WoeG3759 to you, scribesG1122 and PhariseesG5330, hypocritesG5273, becauseG3754 you travelG4013 aroundG4013 on seaG2281 and landG3584 to makeG4160 oneG1520 910proselyteG4339; and whenG3752 he becomesG1096 one, you makeG4160 him twiceG1362 as muchG1362 a sonG5207 of 1112hellG1067 as yourselvesG4771.
16“WoeG3759 to you, 13blindG5185 guidesG3595, who sayG3004, ‘14WhoeverG3739G302 swearsG3660 by the 15templeG3485, that is nothingG3762; but whoeverG3739G302 swearsG3660 by the goldG5557 of the 16templeG3485 is obligatedG3784.’
