Matthew

¹⁶Woe 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. ¹⁷Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that hath sanctified the gold? ¹⁸And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gift that is upon it, he is a debtor. ¹⁹Ye blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift? ²⁰He therefore that sweareth by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon. ²¹And he that sweareth by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein. ²²And he that sweareth by the heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
