Revised Geneva Translation

¹² “For whoever will exalt himself shall be brought low. And whoever will humble himself shall be exalted.

¹³ “Therefore, woe to you, scribes and Pharisees. Hypocrites! Because you shut up the Kingdom of Heaven before man. For you yourselves do not go in, nor do you allow those who wish entrance to come in.

¹⁴ “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you devour widows’ houses, even under a pretense of long prayers. Therefore, you shall receive the greater damnation.
