Matthew:23:16-28
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Woe unto you ,
ye blind guides ,
which say (
5723 ),
Whosoever shall swear (
5661 )
by the temple ,
it is (
5748 )
nothing ;
but whosoever shall swear (
5661 )
by the gold of the temple ,
he is a debtor (
5719 )!
*
Ye fools and blind :
for whether is (
5748 )
greater ,
the gold ,
or the temple that sanctifieth (
5723 )
the gold ?
*
And ,
Whosoever shall swear (
5661 )
by the altar ,
it is (
5748 )
nothing ;
but whosoever sweareth (
5661 )
by the gift that is upon it ,
he is guilty (
5719 ).
*
Ye fools and blind :
for whether is greater ,
the gift ,
or the altar that sanctifieth (
5723 )
the gift ?
*
Whoso therefore shall swear (
5660 )
by the altar ,
sweareth (
5719 )
by it ,
and by all things thereon .
*
And whoso shall swear (
5660 )
by the temple ,
sweareth (
5719 )
by it ,
and by him that dwelleth (
5723 )
therein .
*
And he that shall swear (
5660 )
by heaven ,
sweareth (
5719 )
by the throne of God ,
and by him that sitteth (
5740 )
thereon .
*
Woe unto you ,
scribes and Pharisees ,
hypocrites !
for ye pay tithe (
5719 )
of mint and anise and cumin ,
and have omitted (
5656 )
the weightier matters of the law ,
judgment ,
mercy ,
and faith :
these ought ye (
5713 )
to have done (
5658 ),
and not to leave the other undone (
5721 ).
*
Ye blind guides ,
which strain at (
5723 )
a gnat ,
and swallow (
5723 )
a camel .
*
Woe unto you ,
scribes and Pharisees ,
hypocrites !
for ye make clean (
5719 )
the outside of the cup and of the platter ,
but within they are full (
5719 )
of extortion and excess .
*
Thou blind Pharisee ,
cleanse (
5657 )
first that which is within the cup and platter ,
that the outside of them may be (
5638 )
clean also .
*
Woe unto you ,
scribes and Pharisees ,
hypocrites !
for ye are like (
5719 )
unto whited (
5772 )
sepulchres ,
which indeed appear (
5727 )
beautiful outward ,
but are within full (
5719 )
of dead mens bones ,
and of all uncleanness .
*
Even so ye also outwardly appear (
5743 )
righteous unto men ,
but within ye are (
5748 )
full of hypocrisy and iniquity .
