Matthew 23:15-17
International Standard Version
15 “How terrible it will be for you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to make a single convert, and when this happens you make him twice as fit for[a] hell[b] as you are.
16 “How terrible it will be for you, blind guides! You say, ‘Whoever swears an oath by the sanctuary is excused,[c] but whoever swears an oath by the gold of the sanctuary must keep his oath.’[d] 17 You blind fools! What is more important, the gold or the sanctuary that made the gold holy?
