Matthew 23:18-22

18And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gift that is upon it is a debtor.

19[Fools and] blind ones, for which is greater, the gift, or the altar which sanctifies the gift?

20He therefore that swears by the altar swears by it and by all things that are upon it.

21And he that swears by the temple swears by it and by him that dwells in it.

22And he that swears by heaven swears by the throne of 1God and by him that sits upon it.
