This osisRef looks perfect. The osisID is your choice, but 
Matt.23.7!note would be my recommendation.

Side note: If this is actual markup you have cut & pasted from your 
document, I would recommend changing the sID and eID values to match the 
osisID of the element on which they appear. What you have is technically 
valid, but I've only ever seen texts use legal osisID values here. I'm 
not honestly sure why sID and eID values are so unrestricted.
