Matthew 23

¹⁸ And you say, ‘If anyone swears by the altar, it means nothing; but if anyone swears by the gift on it, he is bound by his oath.’

¹⁹ You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes it sacred?

²⁰ So then, he who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it.

²¹ And he who swears by the temple swears by it and by the One who dwells in it.

²² And he who swears by heaven swears by God’s throne and by the One who sits on it.
