American Standard Version
Matthew 23:15-17
American Standard Version
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 [a]hell than yourselves.
16 Woe unto you, ye blind guides, that say, Whosoever shall swear by the [b]temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the [c]temple, he is [d]a debtor. 17 Ye fools and blind: for which is greater, the gold, or the [e]temple that hath sanctified the gold?
