Matthew 23:18-22
23:18 And, ‘Whoever swears by the altar is bound by nothing. 1 But if anyone swears by the gift on it he is bound by the oath.’
23:19 You are blind! For which is greater, the gift or the altar that makes the gift sacred?
23:20 So whoever swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it.
23:21 And whoever swears by the temple swears by it and the one who dwells in it.
23:22 And whoever swears by heaven swears by the throne of God and the one who sits on it.
