MLV(i)
15 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you go all around the sea and the dry land to make one Jewish-convert, and whenever he has become one, you are making him double the son of hell as you\'b0 are yourselves.
16 Woe to you, you blind guides, that say, Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing, but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is obligated. 17 You are foolish and blind; for which is greater, the gold, or the temple that makes the gold holy? 18 And, Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing, but whoever swears by the gift which is upon it, he is obligated. 19 You\'b0 are foolish and blind; for which is greater, the gift, or the altar that makes the gift holy? 20 Therefore, he who swears by the altar swears by it, and by all things upon it. 21 And he who swears by the temple, swears by it, and in the one who has dwelt in it. 22 And he who has sworn by the heaven, swears by the throne of God, and in the one who is sitting upon it.
23 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you tithe mint and dill and cumin, and yet have left behind the weighty things of the law: justice and mercy and faith. You ought to do these, and not to have left behind those other things. 24 You blind guides, who strain out the gnat and swallow the camel!
