MATTHEW 23:15 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
Matt 23:14Matt 23:16
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel across sea and land to make a single proselyte, and when he becomes a proselyte, you make him twice as much a child of hell as yourselves. The third woe: the missionary zeal that produces converts who are twice as much a child of hell as the converts' teachers. The problem is not the proselytizing but what the convert is converted to — the Pharisaic system that closes the kingdom rather than opens it.
