Why the Lord H136 said, H559 For as much H3282 H365 as this H2063 people H5971 draw near H5066 me with their mouth, H6310 and with their lips H8193 do honor H3513 me, but have removed H7368 their heart H3820 far H7368 from me, and their fear H3374 toward H854 me is taught H3925 by the precept H4687 of men: H582

I will declare H5046 your righteousness, H6666 and your works; H4639 for they shall not profit H3276 you.

I am G1510 truly G3303 a man G435 which am G1510 a Jew, G2453 born G1080 in Tarsus, G5019 a city in Cilicia, G2791 yet brought G397 up in this G5026 city G4172 at G3844 the feet G4228 of Gamaliel, G1059 and taught G3811 according G2596 to the perfect G195 manner G195 of the law G3551 of the fathers, G3971 and was zealous G2207 toward God, G2316 as you all G3956 are this G4594 day. G4594

Which knew G4267 me from the beginning, G509 if G1437 they would G2309 testify, G3140 that after G2596 the most strait G196 sect G139 of our religion G2356 I lived G2198 a Pharisee. G5330

I truly G3303 G3767 thought G1380 with myself, G1683 that I ought G1163 to do G4238 many G4183 things contrary G1727 to the name G3686 of Jesus G2424 of Nazareth. G3478

Though G2539 I might also G2532 have G2192 confidence G4006 in the flesh. G4561 If G1487 any G1536 other G243 man thinks G1380 that he has whereof he might trust G3982 in the flesh, G4561 I more: G3123

Concerning G2596 zeal, G2205 persecuting G1377 the church; G1577 touching G2596 the righteousness G1343 which G3588 is in the law, G3551 blameless. G273

And it shall come H1961 to pass, if H3588 they say H559 to you, Where H575 shall we go H3318 forth? H3318 then you shall tell H559 them, Thus said H559 the LORD; H3068 Such as are for death, H4194 to death; H4194 and such as are for the sword, H2719 to the sword; H2719 and such as are for the famine, H7458 to the famine; H7458 and such as are for the captivity, H7628 to the captivity. H7628

Why G1302 do your disciples G3101 transgress G3845 the tradition G3862 of the elders? G4245 for they wash G3538 not their hands G5495 when G3752 they eat G2068 bread. G740

But he answered G611 and said G2036 to them, Why G1302 do you also G2532 transgress G3845 the commandment G1785 of God G2316 by your G5216 tradition? G3862

And honor G5091 not his father G3962 or G2228 his mother, G3384 he shall be free. Thus G2532 have you made G208 the commandment G1785 of God G2316 of none G208 effect G208 by your G5216 tradition. G3862

For the Pharisees, G5330 and all G3956 the Jews, G2453 except G3362 they wash G3538 their hands G5495 oft, G4435 eat G2068 not, holding G2902 the tradition G3862 of the elders. G4245

Then G1899 the Pharisees G5330 and scribes G1122 asked G1905 him, Why G1302 walk G4043 not your disciples G3101 according G2596 to the tradition G3862 of the elders, G4245 but eat G2068 bread G740 with unwashed G449 hands? G5495

However, in vain G3155 do they worship G4576 me, teaching G1321 for doctrines G1319 the commandments G1778 of men. G444

And he said G3004 to them, Full well G2573 you reject G114 the commandment G1785 of God, G2316 that you may keep G5083 your G5216 own tradition. G3862

But you say, G3004 If G1437 a man G444 shall say G2036 to his father G3962 or G2228 mother, G3384 It is Corban, G2878 that is to say, a gift, G1435 by whatever G1437 you might be profited G5623 by me; he shall be free.

Making G208 the word G3056 of God G2316 of none G208 effect G208 through your G5216 tradition, G3862 which G3739 you have delivered: G3860 and many G4183 such G5108 like G3946 things do G4160 you.

Beware G991 lest G3361 any G3387 man spoil G4812 you through G1223 philosophy G5385 and vain G2756 deceit, G539 after G2596 the tradition G3862 of men, G444 after G2596 the rudiments G4747 of the world, G2889 and not after G2596 Christ. G5547

Whom G3739 having not seen, G1492 you love; G25 in whom, though now G737 you see G3708 him not, yet G1161 believing, G4100 you rejoice G21 with joy G5479 unspeakable G412 and full of glory: G1392
