Matthew 23:16-22

Sawyer(i) 16 Woe to you blind guides, who say, Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is bound. 17 Fools and blind! for which is greater, the gold, or the temple which sanctifies the gold? 18 If a man swears by the altar, it is nothing; but if be swears by the gift which is on it, he is bound. 19 Fools and blind! For which is greater, the gift, or the altar which sanctifies the gift? 20 He then that swears by the altar, swears by it, and by all things on it; 21 and he that swears by the temple, swears by it, and by him that inhabits it; 22 and he that swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by him that sits on it.
