Matthew 23:23-28

23“1WoeG3759 to you, scribesG1122 and PhariseesG5330, hypocritesG5273! For you titheG586 mintG2238 and dillG432 and 2cuminG2951, and have neglectedG863 the weightierG926 provisionsG926 of the LawG3551: justiceG2920 and mercyG1656 and faithfulnessG4102; but theseG3778 are the things you shouldG1163 have doneG4160 withoutG2532G3361 neglectingG863 the othersG2548. 24You 3blindG5185 guidesG3595, who 4strainG1368 outG1368 a gnatG2971 and swallowG2666 a camelG2574!

25“WoeG3759 to you, scribesG1122 and PhariseesG5330, hypocritesG5273! For 5you cleanG2511 the outsideG1855 of the cupG4221 and of the dishG3953, but insideG2081 they are fullG1073 6of robberyG724 and self-indulgenceG192. 26You blindG5185 PhariseeG5330, firstG4413 7cleanG2511 the insideG1787 of the cupG4221 and of the dishG3953, soG2443 thatG2443 the 8outsideG1622 of it may alsoG2532 becomeG1096 cleanG2513.

27“9WoeG3759 to you, scribesG1122 and PhariseesG5330, hypocritesG5273! For you are likeG3945 whitewashedG2867 tombsG5028 whichG3748 on the outsideG1855 appearG5316 beautifulG5611, but insideG2081 they are fullG1073 of deadG3498 men’sG3498 bonesG3747 and allG3956 uncleannessG167. 28SoG3779 you tooG2532, outwardlyG1855 appearG5316 righteousG1342 to peopleG444, but inwardlyG2081 you are fullG3324 of hypocrisyG5272 and lawlessnessG458.
