40:023:012 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. 40:023:013 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. 40:023:014 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation. 40:023:015 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves. 40:023:016 Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor! 40:023:017 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold? 40:023:018 And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty. 40:023:019 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift? 40:023:020 Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon. 40:023:021 And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein. 40:023:022 And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon. 40:023:023 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. 40:023:024 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel. 40:023:025 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. 40:023:026 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also. 40:023:027 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. 40:023:028 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. 40:023:029 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
