New Testament

Matthew 23:21-26 English Revised Version (ERV)

21. And he that sweareth by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.

22. And he that sweareth by the heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.

23. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye tithe mint and anise and cummin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the law, judgment, and mercy, and faith: but these ye ought to have done, and not to have left the other undone.

24. Ye blind guides, which strain out the gnat, and swallow the camel.

25. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full from extortion and excess.

26. Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup and of the platter, that the outside thereof may become clean also.
