Matthew 23:18-22

18And, ‘Whoever swears by the altar is bound by nothing. But if anyone swears by the gift on it he is bound by the oath.’

19You are blind! For which is greater, the gift or the altar that makes the gift sacred?

20So whoever swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it.

21And whoever swears by the temple swears by it and the one who dwells in it.

22And whoever swears by heaven swears by the throne of God and the one who sits on it.
