13ButG1161 woeG3759 unto youG5210, scribesG1122 andG2532 PhariseesG5330, hypocritesG5273! becauseG3754 ye shutG2808 theG3588 kingdomG932 ofG932 heavenG3772 againstG3756 menG444: forG1063 ye enterG1525 notG3756 inG2532 yourselvesG4771, neitherG3756 suffer ye themG863 thatG3754 are enteringG1525 inG2532 toG2532 enterG1525.

15WoeG3759 unto youG5210, scribesG1122 andG2532 PhariseesG5330, hypocritesG5273! forG3754 ye compass seaG2281 andG2532 landG3584 toG2532 makeG4160 oneG1520 proselyteG4339; andG2532 whenG3752 heG2532 is becomeG1096 soG2532, ye makeG4160 himG846 twofold more a sonG5207 ofG5207 hellG1067 thanG2532 yourselvesG846.

16WoeG3759 unto youG5210, ye blindG5185 guidesG3595, whichG3739 sayG3004, Whosoever shall swearG3660 byG1722 theG3588 templeG3485, itG1161 isG1510 nothingG3762; butG1161 whosoever shall swearG3660 byG1722 theG3588 goldG5557 ofG1722 theG3588 templeG3485, heG3739 isG1510 aG1510 debtor.

17Ye foolsG3474 andG2532 blindG5185: forG1063 whetherG2532 isG1510 greaterG3173, theG3588 goldG5557, orG2228 theG3588 templeG3485 thatG1510 hath sanctifiedG37 theG3588 goldG5557?

18AndG2532, Whosoever shallG2532 swearG3660 byG1722 theG3588 altarG2379, itG846 isG1510 nothingG3762; butG1161 whosoever shallG2532 swearG3660 byG1722 theG3588 giftG1435 thatG3739 isG1510 uponG1510 itG846, heG2532 isG1510 aG1510 debtor.

19Ye blindG5185: forG1063 whetherG2228 is greaterG3173, theG3588 giftG1435, orG2228 theG3588 altarG2379 thatG1435 sanctifieth theG3588 giftG1435?

20HeG2532 thereforeG3767 thatG3956 sweareth byG1722 theG3956 altarG2379, sweareth byG1722 itG846, andG2532 byG1722 allG3956 thingsG3956 thereon.

21AndG2532 heG2532 thatG846 sweareth byG1722 theG3588 templeG3485, sweareth byG1722 itG846, andG2532 byG1722 himG846 thatG846 dwelleth therein.

22AndG2532 heG2532 thatG846 sweareth byG1722 theG3588 heavenG3772, sweareth byG1722 theG3588 throneG2362 ofG2316 GodG2316, andG2532 byG1722 himG846 thatG846 sitteth thereon.
