Matthew 23:9-21 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

9. And call no man your father on the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

10. Neither be ye called masters: for one is your master, even the Christ.

11. But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.

12. And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled; and whosoever shall humble himself shall be exalted.

13. But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye shut the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye enter not in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering in to enter.

15. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he is become so, ye make him twofold more a son of hell than yourselves.

16. 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.

17. Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that hath sanctified the gold?

18. And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gift that is upon it, he is a debtor.

19. Ye blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?

20. He therefore that sweareth by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.

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