Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.

Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!

His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.

But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!

Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!

And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.

Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.

And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.

Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.

Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.

Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.

The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.

Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?

They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?

Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.

Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised.

Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.

And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.

Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.

That thou mayest say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places.

They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun smite them: for he that hath mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of water shall he guide them.

The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.

Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.

To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
