Geneva(i)
15 Wo be vnto you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye compasse sea and land to make one of your profession: and when he is made, ye make him two folde more the childe of hell, then you your selues.
16 Wo be vnto you blinde guides, which say, Whosoeuer sweareth by the Temple, it is nothing: but whosoeuer sweareth by the golde of the Temple, he offendeth.
17 Ye fooles and blinde, whether is greater, the golde, or the Temple that sanctifieth the golde?
18 And whosoeuer sweareth by the altar, it is nothing: but whosoeuer sweareth by the offering that is vpon it, offendeth.
19 Ye fooles and blinde, whether is greater, the offering, or the altar which sanctifieth the offering?
20 Whosoeuer therefore sweareth by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.
21 And whosoeuer sweareth by the Temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.
22 And he that sweareth by heauen, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
23 Wo be to you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye tithe mynt, and annyse, and cummyn, and leaue the weightier matters of the law, as iudgement, and mercy and fidelitie. These ought ye to haue done, and not to haue left the other.
24 Ye blinde guides, which straine out a gnat, and swallowe a camell.
