Matthew 15:4-6
Worldwide English (New Testament)
4 God said, "Respect your father and your mother." And God said, "Anyone who says wrong things to his father or his mother will surely die."
5 `But you say, "Tell your father or your mother that you have given to God what you were going to give to them." You say, "If anyone says that, then he does not need to help his father or mother."
6 You make God's law to mean nothing so you can keep your own laws!

Matthew 15:4-6
New International Version
4 For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother’[a](A) and ‘Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.’[b](B) 5 But you say that if anyone declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is ‘devoted to God,’ 6 they are not to ‘honor their father or mother’ with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition.
