15. Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you go round about the sea and the land to make one proselyte; and when he is made, you make him the child of hell twofold more than yourselves.
16. Woe to you blind guides, that say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but he that shall swear by the gold of the temple, is a debtor.
17. Ye foolish and blind; for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
18. And whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gift that is upon it, is a debtor.
19. Ye blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
20. He therefore that sweareth by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things that are upon it:
21. And whosoever shall swear by temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth in it:
22. And he that sweareth by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
23. Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you tithe mint, and anise, and cummin, and have left the weightier things of the law; judgment, and mercy, and faith. These things you ought to have done, and not to leave those undone.
24. Blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel.
25. Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you make clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but within you are full of rapine and uncleanness.
