Matthew 23:4
Woe to you, then, lawyers: while the law is admittedly burdensome, on others who trample it you bring the penalty of death, but you yourselves do not even touch the law (Matthew 23:4).
Greek
Οὐαὶ τοίνυν ὑμῖν, ὦ νομικοί, ὅτι φορτικὸν ὁμολογουμένως ὄντα τὸν νόμον τοῖς μὲν ἄλλοις πατοῦσιν αὐτὸν θανάτου δίκην ἐπάγετε, αὐτοὶ δὲ τοῦ νόμου οὐδὲ προσψαύετε.
