Matthew 23:21-23

Living Bible

²¹ and when you swear ‘By the Temple,’ you are swearing by it and by God who lives in it. ²² And when you swear ‘By heavens,’ you are swearing by the Throne of God and by God himself.

²³ “Yes, woe upon you, Pharisees, and you other religious leaders—hypocrites! For you tithe down to the last mint leaf in your garden, but ignore the important things—justice and mercy and faith. Yes, you should tithe, but you shouldn’t leave the more important things undone.
