Matthew 23:16-18

MLV(i) 16 Woe to you, you blind guides, that say, Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing, but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is obligated. 17 You are foolish and blind; for which is greater, the gold, or the temple that makes the gold holy? 18 And, Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing, but whoever swears by the gift which is upon it, he is obligated.
