Matthew 23:13-22
13“1But woeG3759 to you, scribesG1122 and PhariseesG5330, hypocritesG5273, 2becauseG3754 you shutG2808 off the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 3from 4peopleG444; for you do not enterG1525 in yourselvesG4771, norG3761 do you allowG863 thoseG3588 who are enteringG1525 to goG1525 in. 14[5WoeG3759 to you, scribesG1122 and PhariseesG5330, hypocritesG5273, becauseG3754 6you 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 78proselyteG4339; and whenG3752 he becomesG1096 one, you makeG4160 him twiceG1362 as muchG1362 a sonG5207 of 910hellG1067 as yourselvesG4771.
16“WoeG3759 to you, 11blindG5185 guidesG3595, who sayG3004, ‘12WhoeverG3739G302 swearsG3660 by the 13templeG3485, that is nothingG3762; but whoeverG3739G302 swearsG3660 by the goldG5557 of the 14templeG3485 is obligatedG3784.’ 17You foolsG3474 and blindG5185 menG5185! 15WhichG5101 is 16moreG3173 importantG3173, the goldG5557 orG2228 the 17templeG3485 that sanctifiedG37 the goldG5557? 18And, ‘WhoeverG3739G302 swearsG3660 by the altarG2379, that is nothingG3762, but whoeverG3739G302 swearsG3660 by the 18offeringG1435 on it, he is obligatedG3784.’ 19You blindG5185 menG5185, 19whichG5101 is 20moreG3173 importantG3173, the 21offeringG1435, orG2228 the altarG2379 that sanctifiesG37 the 22offeringG1435? 20ThereforeG3767, 23whoeverG3588 swearsG3660 by the altarG2379, swearsG3660 both by 24the altarG2379 and by everythingG3956 on it. 21And 25whoeverG3588 swearsG3660 by the 26templeG3485, swearsG3660 both by 27the templeG846 and by Him who 28dwellsG2730 withinG2730 it. 22And 29whoeverG3588 swearsG3660 by heavenG3772, 30swearsG3660 both by the throneG2362 of GodG2316 and by Him who sitsG2521 upon it.
