15 Wo vnto you Scrybes and Pharises, ye ypocrytes, which compasse see and lode to make one Proselyte: and whan he is become one, ye make of him a childe of hell, two folde more then ye youre selues are.
16 Wo vnto you blyndegydes, which saye: Who so euer sweareth by the temple, that is nothinge: but who so euer sweareth by the golde of the temple, he is giltie.
17 Ye fooles and blynde, whether is greater? the golde, or the teple that sanctifieth the golde?
18 And who so euer sweareth by the altare, that is nothinge: but who so euer sweareth by the offeringe that is vpo it, he is giltye.
19 Ye fooles and blynde, whether is greater? the offeringe, or the altare that sanctifieth the offerynge?
20 Therfore who so sweareth by the altare, sweareth by the same, and by all that is theron:
21 and who so sweareth by the temple, sweareth by the same, and by him that dwelleth therin.
22 And who so sweareth by heauen, sweareth by the seate of God, and by him that sytteth theron.
23 Wo vnto you scrybes and Pharises, ye ypocrytes, which tythe Mynt, Anyse and Commyn, and leaue the waightier matters of the lawe behynde: namely, iudgment, mercy, and fayth. These ought to haue bene done, and not to leaue the other behynde.
24 O ye blynde gydes, which strayne out a gnat, but swalowe vp a Camell.
25 Wo vnto you scrybes and Pharises, ye Ypocrytes, which make cleane the vttersyde of the cuppe and platter, but within are ye full of robbery and excesse.
26 Thou blynde Pharise, clense first the in syde of the cuppe and platter, that the out syde maye be cleane also.
27 Wo vnto you scrybes and Pharises, ye Ypocrites, which be like vnto paynted Sepulcres, that appeare beutyfull outwarde, but within they are full of deed mens bones and all fylthines.
28 Euen so are ye also: Outwarde ye appeare righteous vnto men, but within ye are full of ypocrisye and iniquyte.
