You sayG3004, ‘If anyoneG3739G302 swearsG3660 byG1722 theG3588 templeG3485, it meansG1510 nothingG3762; butG1161 if anyoneG3739G302 swearsG3660 byG1722 theG3588 goldG5557 of theG3588 templeG3485, he is bound by his oathG3784.’ 17You blindG5185 foolsG3474! WhichG5101 isG1510 greaterG3173: theG3588 goldG5557, orG2228 theG3588 templeG3485 that makes it sacredG37G3588G5557? 18AndG2532 you say, ‘If anyoneG3739G302 swearsG3660 byG1722 theG3588 altarG2379, it meansG1510 nothingG3762; butG1161 if anyoneG3739G302 swearsG3660 byG1722 theG3588 giftG1435 onG1883 itG846, he is bound by his oathG3784.’ 19You blind menG5185!
