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.
14
[Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, even while for a pretence ye make long prayers: therefore ye shall receive greater condemnation.]#rl
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, that 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 which 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 which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?#rl
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.#rl
22
And he that sweareth by the heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
