New International Version Anglicized

Matthew 23:21-25 New International Version Anglicized (NIVUK)

21. And anyone who swears by the temple swears by it and by the one who dwells in it.

22. And anyone who swears by heaven swears by God’s throne and by the one who sits on it.

23. ‘Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices – mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law – justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practised the latter, without neglecting the former.

24. You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.

25. ‘Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence.
